[Experimentally induced immunological reaction of the eye after keratoplasty. II. Ultrastructural changes of the receptor's cornea (author's transl)].

Ultrastructural changes of the receptor's cornea of a rabbit by experimentally induced immune-reaction were communicated. The finding of plasma-cells proves the generation of humoral antibodies. Granulocytic elements are shown in the transplant or react with diffusing antigen-antibody-complexes already in the stroma of the receptor's cornea.

[Quantitative determination of antiproteinases in human tears (author's transl)].

By quantitative determination of antiproteinases, i.e. alpha1-antitrypsin, alpha1-antichymotrypsin, and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor normal values could be obtained. The importance of antiproteinases is demonstrated in this paper. Especially alpha1-antitrypsin was very easy to quantitate and might be of diagnostic interest.

[Qualitative and quantitative determination of prealbumin, retinol-binding protein, Gc-globulin and C4-component in aqueous humor (author's transl)].

By using the combined disc-immunomethod, prealbumin, retinol-binding protein Gc-globulin, and C4-component were identified in human aqueous humor. These proteins can be quantitatively analyzed by single radial immuno-diffusion. The quantiative determination of retinol-binding protein and C4-component in aqueous humor could be of diagnostic value because retinol-binding protein is capable of transporting retinol (vitamin A), and C4-component is implicated in immunologic reactions. Moreover, it is noteworthy that by these immunologic methods it is possible to determine protein concentrations below 0.05 mg/100 ml.

Aqueous Humor↗

[Quantitative determination of aqueous humor proteins by electroimmodiffusion in an antiserum containing agarosegel (author's transl)].

An exact quantitation of aqueous humor proteins within a few hours can be attained by an modification of the quantitative estimation of the proteins by electrophoresis in agarose gel established by Laurell. The aqueous humor proteins form long immunoprecipitations in agargel. The length of the precipitats is proportional to the concentration. By determination of albumin, coeruloplasmin and transferrin the application can be pointed out.

[The proof of different types of collagen in the bovine eye (author's transl)].

Characteristically stained polyacrylamide gels can be obtained by disk-electrophoresis in acid medium of several tissues of the bovine eye. The technique permits to prove different types of collagen in the eye, and allows the differentiation and identification of the tissues. By these results the different tissues of the eye can be divided into three groups. 1. Tissues showing two alpha collagen components in polyacrylamide gel (cornea, sclera, iris, ciliary body, anterior lens capsule, and the pigmented epithelium of the retina). 2. Tissues possessing one alpha component only (zonula fiber and vitreous body). 3. Tissues which show neither the alpha nor the beta and gamma component of collagen (lens nucleous and retina without pigmented epithelium).
