ABSTRACT
Immunologic analysis of the antigenic spectrum of the oral mucosa of man has shown a correlation between the properties as well as distribution pattern in the body of entodermal antigen of man and animals (dogs). This formed a basis for an assumption about the existence in at least two representatives of mammals of an antigen with similar properties discovered by the authors.

An additional component absent in the same areas of the mouth under normal conditions appeared in dogs with spontaneous stomatitis in the ectodermal derivatives (mucosa of the cheeks, tongue and the hard palate). This component proved to be fully identical to the antigens of the mucosa of the soft palate, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, which were entodermal derivatives. No entodermal antigen was revealed in the other organs and tissues under study.
