THE CELLULAR ORIGIN OF HUMAN IMMUNOGLOBULINS (γ2, γ1M, γ1A)

Abstract
A study was made of the cellular origin of human immunoglobulins (γ2, γ1M, γ1A). The results indicated that two closely related families of cells form immunoglobulins in human lymphoid tissue: germinal (reticular) centers and plasma cells. Thus their cellular origin in addition to their known antigenic relations further justifies placing the immunoglobulins in one family of proteins.
