The localization of antigenic substances to humoral antibodies produced in rabbits, either subjected to the repeated infestations of females Haemaphysalis longicornis (parthenogenetic Okayama strain) or inoculated with extracts of various organs of the tick, were examined by the Ouchterlony double gel-diffusion test and the indirect immunofluorescent technique. The antigenic substances were demonstrated in various organs besides the salivary glands and mid-gut whose antigenicities were well established. No antigenicity, however, was observed in the cuticle and tracheae. The antigenic titer of whole tick extract was higher than that of any organs tested at the same concentration of protein. Although the tick resistance, manifested as a reduced engorged body weight, did not develop in rabbits after inoculation with extracts of various organs of tick, the precipitating antibodies having high titers were produced in them.
