The capacity of Fab fragments of normal rabbit IgG to enhance the immune response to sheep erythrocytes in the homologous recipients was determined by the structure of the C-terminal part of the heavy chain Fd fragment. This followed from the fact that pepsin F(a')2 and Fab' fragments enhanced considerably the hemagglutinin production and proliferation of the antibody-forming cells in the spleen, whereas papain Fab fragments, used in the same dose as the pepsin fragments, possessed only negligible adjuvant activity. As shown the adjuvant activity of pepsin and papain fragments displayed an inverse correlation with the titres and papain homoreactants in the sera of the homologous recipients. The data obtained suggested that the target cells for Fab fragments were lymphocytes carrying cytophilic homoreactants as receptors for the fragments. |
