Abstract
THE cytotoxic effects of tissue specific antibodies have been studied in vivo under conditions of auto-immunity (induced or idiopathic) and in vitro using cells in tissue culture1. Although much is known about the histochemical and morphological changes induced by specific antibodies, very little is known of the effect of specific antibodies on the active transport mechanisms of the cell membrane. We have used the urinary bladder of the toad (Bufo marinus) to test the effect of antibodies on the active transport of sodium.
