title: Grass pollen specific antibody in the plasma of normal dogs.
abstract: An investigation carried out with healthy beagle dogs showed that their plasmas contained detectable levels of grass pollen specific IgG antibody, as measured by a radiometric assay involving the binding of IgG to radio-iodinated staphylococcal protein A. These samples did not, however, contain detectable homocytotropic-type antibodies specific for grass pollen extract.
