Lipoids and Immunological Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been demonstrated that the removal of lipoids from Type I antipneumococcus horse serum causes a loss of the visible phenomena of type specific agglutination and precipitation, and in the case of rabbit serum a marked reduction in these properties. Initial activity of the type specific antibody can be restored to extracted immune horse serum by the addition of lecithin, and to rabbit serum by the addition of cephalin. The significance of these observations in respect to the relation of phospholipins to the type specific reactions of antipneumococcus serum is discussed.

It has been recognized that the antibacterial sera produced by the immunization of the horse and the rabbit with Type I pneumococci, although possessing type specificity, exhibit marked differences in certain immunological properties. The distinctive characteristics of the two sera have interested numerous investigators, but as yet there is almost no evidence to indicate what constituents of th...

1. Oxidation of tissues with performic acid gives rise to histochemically detectable reaction products particularly in two classes of material. These are keratin and lipoids of the phosphatide class. 2. Three methods have been evolved for visualizing the effect of performic acid on cystine-containing structures; two of these (performic acid/Schiff and perfoi-mic acid/cobalt nitrate) also record...

Processed antigen reacts selectively with lymphocytes bearing .appropriate surface immunoglobulin molecules resulting in the clonal proliferation of these cells, producing circulating immunoglobulin (humoral immunity) or non-circulating immunoglobulins (cellular immunity). High levels of circulating immunoglobulins (lgM & lgG) occur in protozoa and helminths infections. Reaginic antibodies a...

That portion of horse and human serum globulin precipitated by 33 per cent saturation with ammonium sulfate and precipitated on subsequent dialysis was taken as euglobulin; and the fraction precipitated between 33 and 50 per cent saturation and remaining in solution on subsequent dialysis was taken as pseudoglobulin. The sera of rabbits injected with either of these antigens gave precipitation ...
