Abstract
Summary
These studies indicate that nicotinic acid deficiency does not appreciably influence the production of circulating complement-fixing antibody when either relatively small or large amounts of antigenic stimulation were employed. Pyridoxine deficiency, however, influenced unfavorably the antibody response when either small or large amounts of the antigen were injected. The single immunizing injection (0.0073 mg N) did not bring forth circulating antibodies that were demonstrable by complement-fixation.
