Abstract
Summary
It has been found that daily injections of leucogenenol, at the time of and following one injection of sheep erythrocytes, causes a marked increase in the concentration of antibody-forming cells in lymphatic tissues as well as in the spleen and bone marrow. In intact animals this results in earlier formation of maximum titers of hemolysin in the serum and causes splenectomized animals to respond to the injection of sheep erythrocytes with the formation of normal maximum titers.
It is suggested that leucogenenol stimulates the formation of antibody-reactive cells from precursors.
