Summary Various antigens were injected into a spleen which had been isolated from circulation. Isolation was effected by separating the splenic nerve and tying all the underlying blood vessels and tissues. The degree of splenic isolation was tested by introducing P32 into the spleen and subsequently determining its presence in the blood. When the isolated spleen was removed five minutes after being injected with the antigen, the antigen injection brought about the formation of specific antibodies, although no resorption occurred. When no antigen was injected into the spleen, surgical intervention did not change the antibody titer.
