Abstract
Summary: Sieved spleen cells isolated from rabbits 2 or 3 days after an in vivo anamnestic stimulation have been studied. Synthesis of antibody in vitro has been measured by the incorporation of radioactive amino acid into carrier antibody-antigen precipitates formed in the supernatants. The effect of alterations of the culture medium have been investigated. The rate of antibody production tended to be constant in spleen cells isolated at 3 days, but was still increasing in cells isolated at 2 days.
