Paul Ehrlich's receptor immunology : the magnificent obsession by Arthur M Silverstein( )

14 editions published between 2001 and 2002 in English and held by 1,402 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This book describes the background to Paul Ehrlich's immunological works and theories and delves into the substance of his experiments in great detail. By exploring these early developments in immunology, the book lays the foundation for modern concepts, providing immunologists, biomedical researchers, and students the context for the discoveries in their field. the selectionist theory of antibody formation kinetics of primary and secondary antibody response quantitative methods of measurement of antigens and antibody demonstration of passive transfer of immunity from mother to foetus

FETAL RESPONSE TO IMMUNIZATION( Book )

3 editions published between 1967 and 1969 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

A broad study of the fetal immunologic response to immunization was undertaken. The fetus is able to respond actively to antigenic stimulus quite early in gestation, but develops this competence to different antigenic stimuli at different stages of development. The fetus is capable of immunologic response in the absence of any organized lymphoid structures in either regional nodes or spleen, and apparently even prior to the development of a lymphoid thymus. Thymectomy of the fetus at the end of the first third of gestation, while retarding its lymphoid development, fails to affect significantly its immunologic development. The suggestion that the Peyer's patches of the intestinal tract might be the mammalian analog of the avian Bursa of Fabricius (as a central lymphoid control organ) was tested by extirpation of the fetal intestinal tract, a procedure without effect on the normal course of immunologic development. It was found that antilymphocyte serum prepared in the rabbit would, when injected into the fetal lamb, produce a severe lymphoid depletion, accompanied by an inability to form circulating antibody, to reject orthotopic skin allografts, and even an inability to reject grafts of guinea pig skin. A study of the secretory immunoglobulins of the sheep (colostrum, saliva, tears, etc.) discloses that the principal component in this species is a gamma G-1 immunoglobulin derived from the blood, rather than the locally formed gamma A immunoglobulin with an attached special polypeptide chain typical of many other species.
