Abstract
Repeated i.p. injections of rabbit anti-mouse pancreas serum or of guinea pig anti-mouse pancreas serum produces a chronic sclerotizing pancreatitis. The changes which occurred in the acinar cells, and the etiology and pathogenesis of immune pancreatitis, were studied. An immune reaction of the serum sickness or immune complex disease type against foreign proteins, from the xeongenic serum, is assumed, in addition to the inflammatory reaction.
