摘要
Rabbits were sensitized with highly purified bovine α-crystallin and rhodopsin. Without boosting, α-crystallin predominantly stimulated the humoral immune system, and rhodopsin predominantly the cellular immune system. The results obtained by lymphocyte stimulation tests, skin tests and immunodiffusion point to the presence of α-crystallin determinants in bovine iris and probably in choroid, but not in cornea and retina. Rhodopsin determinants have been detected in cornea and sclera, while they seem to lack in lens and iris. © 1979.
