Microglobulin synthesized in Cell Culture of the Lymph Nodes and Spleen of the Rabbit

Nature volume 212, pages 845–846 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE proteins synthesized in vitro by lymphoid tissues of immunized animals are known to consist of an antibody fraction and a gamma-globulin fraction which cannot be identified as an antibody1. Even in hyper-immune rabbits, the amount of newly formed antibody will not exceed 40 per cent of the total gamma-globulin synthesized2. This investigation is concerned with the size of the molecules of the non-specific gamma-globulin synthesized in cultures of rabbit lymphoid cells.
