Antigenic correlation between rat thymus and superior cervical ganglion.

By using rabbit anti-rat thymocyte and anti-rat superior cervical ganglion sera in cytotoxicity, immunofluorescence and absorption assays, it has been shown that surface membranes of rat thymocytes and cervical ganglion cells (i.e. peripheral nervous tissue cells) contain common antigenic determinants.

In vitro cross-reacting antibodies from rabbit antisera to rat brain synaptic membranes and thymocytes.

Rabbit anti-rat brain synaptic membrane and anti-rat thymocyte antisera were used in cytotoxicity, immunofluorescence, and absorption assays to define the antigenic relationship between the rat brain and thymocytes, and the localizing properties of antibodies. Both antisera cross-reacted with brain tissue and thymocytes. However, anti-synaptic membrane and anti-thymocyte antisera also contained antibodies specific for neurons and thymocytes, respectively. Immunofluorescence showed that antibodies from anti-thymocyte antiserum reacted with antigenic determinants situated on the surface membrane of brain cells.

Antigenic correlations between chicken brain organelles, thymocytes and bursacytes.

Rabbit antisera to chicken whole brain and brain microsomes, synaptic membranes, and synaptic vesicles were used in cytotoxicity and immunofluorescence assays against chicken bursacytes and thymocytes. Brain organelles, bursacytes and thymocytes have shown to possess common antigenic determinants. The common antigen is present in small amounts on thymocytes and can be demonstrated only by immunofluorescence.
