Resemblances and differences between human and animal organ-specific antigens

Summary

A comparative immunological investigation of the tissues of liver and spleen of man, guinea pig, dog, pig and bull was conducted. It was demonstrated with the aid of a method of blocking of heterogeneous antigens (common for organs of man and animals) and by the reaction of hemagglutinin binding that organ-specific antigens of man differ qualitatively from the corresponding antigens of animals. Organ-specific antigens, evidently, determine together with the other antigens the species to which the organ belongs.
