Résumé
A new model system for inducing reaginic antibody formation in mice is presented, namely a single injection of rabbit anti mouse thymocyte serum (RAMTS). Using this model it is shown that X irradiation (450 rad) administered to CBA mice 24 hr after a single injection of RAMTS or IgG (RAMTS) results in a sustained moderately high level of reagins against rabbit serum proteins with a concomitant barely detectable level (titer 1:5) of γ1 antibodies. Splenectomy and thymectomy had no demonstrable effect on reaginic antibody synthesis.
