Abstract

This experiment was performed to demonstrate that the cell-mediated hypersensitivity plays an important role in the development of the so-called endophthalmitis phaooanaphylactica. Fifteen albino guinea pigs were immunized with sclubte proteins of bovine lens with complete Freund's adjuvant. The immunizations were repeated 4 times at 5 days intervals. 5 days after the last injection, the skin test was performed with soluble lens protein, and liquid paraffin was injected into the peritoneal cavity. 7 days after paraffin injection, the peritoneal exudate cells were harvested, and were allowed to migrate on agar with and without antigen according to Salvin- Niahio method. All of them shows positive skin reaction and significant inhibition of migration under the presence of the antigen.
