INHIBITION OF 19S ANTIBODY SYNTHESIS BY 7S ANTIBODY
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|July 24, 1964
Abstract:
A brief course of treatment with 6-mercaptopurine prevented conversion of 19S to 7S antibodies during the immune response of rabbits to bovine gamma globulin. Specific reactive homologous 7S antibodies given intravenously to animals with such incompletely developed humoral reactions led to an abrupt fall in 19S antibodies. After a lag period the synthesis of 7S antibodies was apparently normal. These results suggest that the concentration of 7S antibodies controls the synthesis of 19S antibodies.

Overview
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.

01:30Inhibitors of Viral Protein Synthesis
Protein synthesis is indispensable for viral replication, as viruses lack the cellular machinery required for this process and must hijack the host's translational apparatus. In response, host cells deploy a critical innate immune defense involving interferons, specialized cytokines that play a central role in inhibiting viral propagation.Upon viral detection, infected cells release interferons that bind to receptors on adjacent uninfected cells, activating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and...
