The sensitivity of antibody to 2‐mercaptoethanol treatment in three Australian marsupials

Abstract: Antibody in Australian marsupials 359Saturation of most of the relevant AMS receptors occurred at a serum concentration of about 1.5 % as suggested b y the biphasic curve obtained by AMS titration (Fig. 3). This concentration could be quantitively related t o the number of cells in the culture (unpublished data). The steep slope observed a t low AMS concentrations was probably due to the binding of antibodies to the free macrophage receptors. At a serum concentration of about 1.5 %, receptor saturation seemed … Show more

“…I am in no way suggesting that "placentals" have been derived from "marsupials," but rather only emphasize the close phylogenetic relationship of the two groups and the likely existence of morphologically and physiologically highly advanced viviparous therian mammals in the Early Cretaceous. As examples, it seems unlikely to me that the great similarities between marsupials and placentals in the immune system (Block, 1964;Yadav, 1973), in the basic mechanisms of temperature control (Dawson, 1973), and even in brain rhythms during sleep (Tauber, 1974, p. 164) would have been complete parallelisms not present in the common ancestor; there are simply too many such profound similarities. In contrast to the beliefs of some authors (see, for example, Tyndale-Biscoe, 1973, p. 189), I feel that we can learn a great deal about mammalian adaptations to the Early Cretaceous environment through the cautious study of living kinds.…”
