Local immunity. | Hayes, Sheldon P | 1. Antibody nitrogen was recovered from tissue homogenate extracts of experimentally immunized mice. Contents of 0.2 and 0.46 mg/ml in skin, 0.42 to 0.95 mg/ml in spleen and 0.91 to 2.52 mg/ml in the liver were obtained. This represents about 80% of the total nitrogen from inguinal lymph nodes hom... | Pathology |
