Abstract
The relation between splenic antibody formation and serum antibody levels after intraperitoneal immunization of mice with sheep erythrocytes was studied in individual animals. A strong correlation between plaque-forming cell numbers in the spleen and haemolysin and haemagglutinin titres in the serum was observed. These results are at variance with recent data on the development of splenic auto-haemolysin-forming cells and corresponding serum levels after injection of mice with Escherichia coli endotoxin. The background behind the discrepancy between the antigen-driven immune response and the more polyclonal stimulation of B cells with endotoxin is being discussed.
