Abstract:
Antibody formation in high-altitude-acclimatized and nonacclimatized rabbits was investigated at altitudes of 14,100 (Pikes Peak, Colo.) and 5,330 (Denver, Colo.). Serum pools representing samplings of primary response were titered before and after treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol. Peak titers of 2-mercaptoethanolresistant and -sensitive humoral antibodies were higher in the animals adapted to an altitude of 14,100 ft and in nonadapted animals than in animals maintained at 5,330 ft.

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.
