Summary
The authors have studied the production of antigenic material, specific for the cervicovaginal epithelium, in organ cultures of the cervicovaginal region from neonatal mice. In control cultures the antigenic material appeared at a time corresponding to the normal appearance under in vivo conditions. When cyclic adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate (dibutyryl derivate) was added to the medium, a strong increase of the fluorescent material was seen.
