Starch-gel Electrophoresis of Sera of Immunized X-irradiated Mice

Abstract

ANTIBODY formation is easily prevented by adequate sub-lethal doses of X-radiation. If the appearance of specific antibodies is associated with some alterations in amount or in nature of some serum components, immuno-logically unresponsive animals caused by X-irradiation are expected not to offer any changes ascribed to antibody formation, but possibly to show some disorders in serum sub-fractions after the administration of antigens.
