Specific Localization of Anti-Rat-Lung Serum in the Lung.

Abstract

By labelling anti-rat-lung serum with radioiodine and injecting it into rats, it was found that the anti-rat-lung serum contained antibody which localized in the kidney. Anti-rat-brain, -liver, and -heart sera were also investigated and showed no specific localization, but these expts. were considered inconclusive. The data presented show that kidney tissue is not unique in being able to localize antibody from tissue homologous antiserum.
