Abstract
Summary
Eosinophilia in the rat stomach was produced by immunization with isologous, homologous, and heterologous stomach extracts in Freund's adjuvant. Immunization with isologous, homologous, and heterologous liver extracts failed to evoke stomach eosinophilia. It is possible that production of autoantibodies directed against organ-specific antigens in the stomach extracts and interaction of these antibodies with organ-specific antigen in the stomach wall may be responsible for the stomach eosinophilia.
