Popis: Both the time interval between two antigenic stimuli and the size of the primary and secondary antigen doses have been varied in a study on antibody formation against human serum albumin (HSA) in rabbits. It was found that the variation of the time interval between the primary and secondary stimulation did not significantly influence the amount of antibody produced in the secondary response. This was true whatever the size of the primary dose of antigen. However, when-rabbits were stimulated with the same primary antigen dose, the amount of antibody produced in the secondary response was closely correlated with the dose of antigen used for restimulation. The results are discussed in relation to present theories regarding the regulation on immunological memory.
