An ontogenetic study of the antigenic properties of animal tissues and organs

Communication 4. An embryogenetic study of the species-and organospecificity of a chicken's heart

Summary

Antigenic properties of the developing chicken heart were followed up through different stages of embryogenesis, the methods of anaphylactic reaction, desensibilization and precipitation being used. At all stages of development, tissues of the developing heart manifested significant antigenic species-specificity. Organspecific antigens peculiar to the definitive chicken's heart appear for the first time at the fourth day of incubation, and rise significantly with the development of the heart. Appearance of these antigens coincides with the beginning of morphological transformation of the tubular heart into the four-chambered one.
