Abstract:Antigen persistence and serum antibody production in intact Xenopus were monitored using human gamma globulin (HGG), in adjuvant, in various immunisation schedules. Retention of HGG in spleen and serum was directly related to the quantity injected. However, antibody responses to a dose range between 1 mu-g-6 mg antigen were similar in intensity. These were detected in the serum two weeks after injection and at this stage were exclusively mercapto-ethanol (ME) sensitive; ME-resistant antibodies had appeared by … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
