Results of immunochemical studies of normal and thermally-treated human skin in vitro showed at least 2 of 4-5 organospecific dermal antigens to be thermostable-they withstood heating at 100 degrees C for 3 minutes; 2 or 3 antigens were thermolabile. The thermostable antigens possessed electrophoretic migration in the field of alpha1- and gamma-globulins. The burn eschar was found to retain one of the two thermostable oranospecific antigens together with the loss of thermolabile antigen.
