The development of antibodies to penicilin in rabbits
Abstract:
A method for the production of antibodies specifically directed against penicillin is described. The inability of this antibody to significantly reduce the antibiotic activity of penicillin is noted. Evidence to show the variability of specificities of various sera, some directed for the most part against the side chain, others against the nucleus is presented. Studies on serum fractions separated electrophorectically indicate that the antibody migrates in the fast gamma-globulin and beta-globulin fractions and requires dextran or albumin to effect agglutination. The inability of penicilloic acid, an hydrolysis product of penicillin to provoke antibody formation despite its ability to inhibit the antibody is shown and the implications of this observations are discussed.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
