Abstract
Antibody forming cells express one of two codominant alleles in the case of allotypes and perhaps of other traits connected with the formation of immunoglobulin. That this property does not apply to all genetic systems of these cells is demonstrated by the presence of both parental histocompatibility antigens in heterozygous immunocytes.
