Abstract
Summary
Rabbits sensitized with human plasma (10 ml/kg) developed humoral antibody following a mean interval of 6.5 days. No changes were noted in the blood volume or in the thiocyanate or radiosodium space at that time. Tissue analyses revealed the radiosodium space to be significantly increased in the adrenal gland of those animals given injections of untreated plasma, as compared with animals given denatured plasma or no antigen at all. No such increase was noted in any of the 14 other tissues or organs studied. No significant differences in the water content of any of the tissues or organs were found.
