Enhancement of reagin formation in rabbits by passively administered 19S antibody

PMCID: PMC1455825  PMID: 5551361

Abstract

Rabbits immunized with haemocyanin in Freund's complete adjuvant responded in almost all cases with the formation of serum homocytotropic (reaginic) antibodies. Intravenous administration of 19S antibodies 1 day before or after antigenic stimulation resulted in an enhancement of the formation of the homocytotropic antibodies. No significant effect on the synthesis of 7S and 19S antibodies, reactive in passive haemagglutination, was observed. The results are discussed in relation to hyposensitization therapy.
