Ontogeny of haemolytic plaque-forming cells in newborn rabbit's spleen in response to different erythrocyte antigens

J B Leiper
PMCID: PMC1423246  PMID: 4604855

Abstract

The ability of rabbits to respond to relatively high doses of sheep erythrocytes appears within 5 days after birth. Young rabbits exhibited an apparent sequential maturation of responsiveness to sheep, mouse, rat and guinea-pig erythrocyte antigens. The delay in response to these antigens can be correlated with different levels of specific haemagglutinin, presumably of maternal origin, in the circulation of young rabbits.
