Zusammenfassung
Immunelektrophoretische und Immundiffusions-Studien zeigen, dass die Linse vonRana pipiens während der Entwicklung (Embryonal-Stadium 25 nachShumway) α-und β-kristalline Substanzen enthalten. Diese und frühere Ergebnisse10 sprechen dafür, dass beide Substanzen gleichzeitig auftreten, und beweisen, dass β-kristalline Substanzen in diesem Entwicklungsstadium alleine im Linsenepithel vorkommen, während die Kristalline die am spätesten nachweisbaren linsenspezifischen Proteine (Taylor-Kollros-Metamorphosestadium VI) in der Linsenentwicklung vonR. pipiens sind.
