Improvements in a method for the specific microscopic localization of antigen in tissue cells are described and two isomeric series derived from nitrofluorescein are described.
Abstract
Improvements in a method for the specific microscopic localization of antigen in tissue cells are described. This method employs antibody labelled with fluorescein isocyanate as a histochemical stain, the specific antigen-antibody precipitate being made visible under the fluorescence microscope. Two isomeric series derived from nitrofluorescein are described.

Characteristics of an immune system common to certain external secretions

TL;DR: The γ1A present in saliva and colostrum exists largely in the form of higher polymers, the major component of which has a sedimentation coefficient of 11S, and its properties including the local production of a distinctive type of antibody separate it from the "systemic" system responsible for the production of circulating antibody.

Localization of antigen in tissue cells iii. cellular distribution of pneumococcal polysaccharides types ii and iii in the mouse

TL;DR: The cytological distribution of the pneumococcal polysaccharides, types II and III, was followed in the tissues of the mouse, and the significance of its fixation in relation to its antigenicity and possible toxicity in mice is discussed.
