Abstract
Injection of tobacco mosaic virus into rabbits induces the concomitant synthesis of specific antibodies and of non-reactive immunoglobulins. Labelling experiments show that the amount of non-specific immunoglobulins produced for a given amount of antibodies is much greater after a first stimulation than after a booster injection.
