[Immunology of the pre-implantation phase in pregnancy. Protein content and antigenic properties of the oviduct-secretion in mammals].

The protein content and the antigenic properties of the mammalian oviduct The protein pattern of the oviductal fluid is similar to that of the serum. Some specific proteins of the oviduct are described. Reproduction can be influenced by immunological means. Antigens exist in the oviductal fluid and in the epithelial cells. The antibody content of the oviductal fluid remains low after active and passive immunization. The localizations of the antigen-antibody-reactions are discussed.
