Uptake of Labeled Antigens by the Mitochondria of Mouse Liver

[摘要] 1. 1. Following the intravenous injection of labeled antigens, the ratio of the specific activity of mitochondrial protein to that of whole liver homogenate was determined over periods from 5 minutes to 8 hours for normal and immune mice.2. 2. The immunized mice yielded mitochondrial to whole liver ratios 10 times greater than the normal animals at the time of maximum ratio. Similar results were obtained with normal and immune rabbits.3. 3. It is considered that the magnitude of the mitochondrial ratio is a function of many factors, including particle size and circulatory clearance. These are discussed.
