Abstract

Prostaglandins-E were demonstrated in the aqueous humour, the anterior uvea, and the choroid of rabbits in which type III allergic reactions were produced by two different methods. In general the levels of prostaglandins were found to be higher in those animals in which the immune complexes were formed from autologous rather than heterologous tissue antigens.
