Abstract
The individual's capacity to produce a circulating antibody response to a particular antigen has been found to vary on a genetic basis. Moreover, specific genes that control immune response have now been identified and localized within the same chromosomal region as the genes that govern transplantation reactions. Immune response controls appear to be expressed in thymus-derived cells.Keywords
