Abstract
Rabbits were immunized by injection of tobacco mosaic virus of the strain Vulgare or related antigens. This treatment resulted in the appearance of antibodies with different reactivities. Some of these were non-reactive against the injected antigen but reacted specifically with a related antigen. Such antibodies, called heterospecific antibodies, possessed H chains with a distinct amino acid composition.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
