Continuity of a rabbit antigen between generations.
The rabbit uterine protein, blastokinin, is detectable as an antigen in both male and female genital tract tissues, in preimplantation embryos, and in lungs from late fetal stages, immatures, and adults. Thus, it serves as an example of how an antigen of normal tissue exists in a developmental progression from one generation to the next.
