Summary
Experiments on tritons have shown that on the 15th day of wollfian regeneration of the crystalline lens normally extirpated from the iris, an antigen specific for the ctystalline lens appears in that tissue. No antigen could be detected at earlier stages of regeneration (on the fifth day). It is supposed that organs of the same function and histologic structure, no matter of what origin they are, have identical antigenic properties.
