Abstract
Summary
Microsomal and supernatant fractions of liver cells of laying hens and estrogenized chickens showed immunologically specific antigenic properties similar to those of phosphoproteins found in the sera of laying hens. However, nuclear and mitochondrial fractions derived from liver cells of laying hens, 4 fractions from spleen cells of laying hens and 4 fractions from liver cells of cocks, did not show any such specific antigenic properties. Microsomal and supernatant fractions of liver cells of laying hens and estrogenized chickens had both specific properties of S-I and S-III fractions. Microsomal and supernatant fractions absorbed well anti-S-ITT and anti-S-I antibodies, respectively.
