Abstract
Summary
Intravenous injection of coli toxin produced in rabbits a rise in protein content of the aqueous humor. Above 500 mg % protein the aqueous coagulated. The protein content of the secondary aqueous of toxin-treated animals was higher than in normal controls, even when that of the primary aqueous had been normal.
A previous dose of coli toxin partially or completely prevented a rise in the protein content after a second injection.
Electrophoresis of the aqueous humor of toxin treated rabbits indicated albumin, beta and gamma globulin, and fibrinogen, with an A:G ratio of 3.44.
