Summary The leveb of albumin, immunoglobulin G (including IgG [T]), IgA and IgM in the serum and aqueous humour of 47 horses and ponies with no ophthalmic abnormalities were determined by single radial immunodiffusion. There was a linear relationship between serum and aqueous albumin levels. No relationship of serum and aqueous IgG levels was observed. IgA was detected in only one aqueous sample. IgM was not detected in aqueous humour from any eye in this study. The factors which may influence albumin and immunoglobulin levels in normal aqueous humour are discussed.
