[Isolation of immune serums against antigens of the aorta for immunomorphological study of experimental atherosclerosis].

A possibility is shown of obtaining sufficiently pure antigens (collagen, elastin, structural grycoproteids), with the help of a preparative chemical method, from the wall of aortas of rabbits, both healthy and "diseased", i.e. with atherosclerosis. Immunomorphological analysis showed that the immune sera obtained against antigens indicated above reacted only with structures of the affected vessels, no interaction with the wall of normal aortas being noted.
