Abstract
The antigenic proteins in soluble extracts of bovine cornea and comeal epithelium were studied by immunoelectrophoresis and by immunodiffusion. The extract prepared from whole cornea contained alpha-, beta-, and gamma-globulins, and an albumin-like protein. The epithelium contained only traces of gamma-globulin and an albumin-like protein. A protein that appeared to be intrinsically corneal was present in both the whole cornea extract and in the epithelial extract.
