Mouse Nervous Tissue Iso-antigens

Abstract

MUCH work has been done on experimental auto-immunization with nervous tissues, and the relation of the resulting pathology to that found in demyelinative diseases of the human nervous system1. Furthermore, the existence of organ-specific lipid haptens has long been recognized; recently, Joffe, Rapport and Graf have identified one of these haptens as a galactocerebroside2. No strain-specific iso-antigens were described by these authors1,2.
