Abstract
Rabbits were immunized with brain, muscle or hemolymph of adult S. falculata, and groups of Sarcophaga were then fed on serum collected from the immune rabbits. Rabbit serum immunoglobulins [Ig] on the tissues of the fed flies were demonstrated by the indirect fluorescent antibody method, using fluorescent goat-anti-rabbit IgG [immunoglobulin G]. The antibodies were specifically demonstrated in the tissues that were used as immunizing antigen. Antibodies non-specific for fly antigens pass through the fly gut and react with the specific antigens.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
