THE ENHANCEMENT OF 19S ANTIBODY PRODUCTION BY PARTICULATE ANTIGEN

    Injection of human thyroglobulin solution into rabbits gave rise to a transient 19S antibody response which could however be maintained by repeated administration of antigen. When the antigen was coated onto acrylic resin particles, the titre of 19S antibodies was increased nearly 20-fold whereas 7S antibody levels were unchanged. This selective enhancement of 19S antibody synthesis by particulate antigen was also seen using human gamma-globulin. "Intermediate" sedimenting and 7S gamma(1)-antibodies were also increased in animals given particulate antigen. These phenomena may be due to prolonged persistence of the antigen in appropriate macrophages or perhaps to an increased uptake into these cells. The results are discussed in terms of the relationship between 19S and 7S globulin-producing cells.

    Hybridoma Technology01:31

    Hybridoma Technology

    Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

    Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

    An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.
    Complete Antigens
    Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and reactivity.
    Immunological Memory01:23

    Immunological Memory

    Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
    What is Immunological Memory?
    Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
    Immunoprecipitation01:20

    Immunoprecipitation

    Immunoprecipitation, or IP, is a widely used technique that employs protein-antibody interactions to isolate proteins or protein complexes in their native state for studying protein-protein interactions, quaternary structures, or supramolecular complexes. Various modifications of the technique, including chromatin IP, cross-linking IP, and fluorescence IP, are commonly used.
