Immunologic Analysis

Immunologic analysis of antisera and comparative studies of their properties provide important data about the number and the localization of antigens in the various organs of the reproductive system of the rabbit. The advantages of cryostimulation for eliciting immune responses in the reproductive system of the male rabbit are discussed in this paper, and examples are given of the study of such antisera through different immunologic techniques.

Thermal Regimes

The destructive freezing of living tissue often stimulates the host animal to produce antibodies against its own tissue. This phenomenon, the expression of an autoimmune process, is currently employed in this laboratory for exploring the antigenic properties of the male rabbit reproductive system. In this paper, the anatomic features of this reproductive system are briefly described. Details are offered of the surgical techniques used to approach these organs, and of the thermal regimes used in the destructive freezing of the target tissues.

The erythrocytes of llama (Llama glama) have properties which render them of interest for membrane studies. It is known that these erythrocytes do not deform under shear stress and that they have an ellipsoid shape1 . The shape and deformability properties of erythrocytes are thought to be governed by some type of association between the peripheral and integral proteins of the membrane. Spectrin and actin are the major peripheral proteins which constitute the cytoskeleton. The cytoplasmic domain of the integral protein, band 3, is believed to be involved through its association with the cytoskeleton. In view of these considerations, the biochemical and ultrastructural characterization of the llama erythrocyte membrane and its comparison with that of the human erythrocyte may provide important data which will contribute to our understanding of cytoskeletal structure.
