Summary
Injection of homologous tissue or tissue extracts and homologous transplantation of skin in rabbits provoke the production of antibodies. By means of a new nephelometric method, acquired antibodies against homologous tissue circulating in the serum were found. This tissue-antibody seems to be an individual-specific one, reacting with all organs of the donor. The antibody is thermolabile and not dialysable.
