Abstract

In a previous experiment, rabbits and goats were immunized with boiled and ethanol precipitated (BE) bovine kidney antigen, and the specificity of the antibodies produced was compared (Andersen 1975). The caprine sera were species specific while the rabbit sera, however, cross-reacted with BE antigens from other ruminant species. Sera from 2 rabbit littermates differed somewhat in that 1 serum seemed to be mainly species specific giving only weak reactions against BE antigens from kidney and spleen from other ruminants, whilst the other serum was more organ specific and reacted equally with homologous and heterologous kidney antigens.
