Abstract
Injections of rabbit and horse anti-lymphocytic sera into hooded rats inhibited the primary humoral antibody response to sheep erythrocytes, but did not have a marked effect on the secondary response. The major part of the immunosuppressive activity was associated with the IgG fraction. Antibody fragments were not effective in suppressing the immune reaction.
