Abstract
Summary
By labelling anti-rat-lung serum with radioiodine and injecting it into rats, it was found that the anti-rat-lung serum contained antibody which localized specifically in the lung. It also contained antibody which cross-reacted with and localized in the kidney. Anti-rat-brain, -liver, and -heart sera were also investigated and showed no specific localization, but these experiments were considered inconclusive.
The data presented show that kidney tissue is not unique in being able to localize antibody from tissue homologous antiserum.
