CELLS INVOLVED IN THE IMMUNE RESPONSE, XIII. THE NATURE OF THE CELLULAR INTERACTIONS RELATING ANTIBODY FORMATION AND IMMUNOLOGIC TOLERANCE: A UNIFIED HYPOTHESIS

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The various cells and cell pathways involved in the induction of the primary humoral immune response have been discussed from the point of view of the unitary, as opposed to the multiple, pathway concept. The immunocompetent cells made unresponsive in the immunologically tolerant animal and the cells capable of responding with antibody formation were considered. It is concluded that there exist multiple cellular pathways through which the humoral immune response may be expressed.
