Abstract

Guinea-pigs immunized with DNP—BSA first produced anti-DNP antibodies of the γ2-class followed by anti-DNP antibodies of the γ1-class. The cellular localization of γ2 and γ1 immunoglobulins was investigated by immunofluorescence techniques during this shifting period. The γ2- and γ1-classes of immunoglobulins were, with few possible exceptions, produced in separate cells.
