Immunoglobulin-levels in Mice undergoing Graft-versus-host Reaction

Nature volume 205, pages 509–510 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

IT is generally admitted that mice undergoing graft-versus-host reaction reveal diminished immunological competence. In particular, the antibody production following antigenic challenge is known to be depressed1–3, although there is little conclusive evidence concerning the behaviour of immunoglobulins4,5. This particular aspect of the graft-versus-host reaction has been examined by us.
