Failure of Ribonucleoprotein to transfer Antibody Formation

Nature volume 183, pages 1400–1401 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

SOME data1 indicate that templates for antibody synthesis consist of a ribonucleoprotein. Šterzl and Hrubešova2, and Hrubešova et al. 3 have found that infant rabbits form antibodies when injected with nucleoproteins isolated from the spleen of immunized donors. However, they were not able to prove that those antibodies originated de novo.
