Virchows Archiv A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

By immunisation of rabbits with rat parathyroid-(PTG)-homogenates or bovine PTG-homogenates antisera with species- and organ-specific antibodies against rat PTG or bovine PTG, respectively, have been produced. After passive immunisation of rats with the antiserum against rat PTG a marked immunoparathyroiditis developed in three out of 15 rats. Hypoparathyroidism, however, was not observed.
