title: [Crystalline lens "tumor immunity"].
abstract: Three series of experiments on 72 rabbits have shown that lens tumor immunity is not related to the anaerobic nature of its energy metabolism and is not a consequence of lens capsule impermeability for chemical cancer genes. Ionizing radiation causes cataracts without malignancy of lens epithelial cells.
