DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNITY

Abstract

A schematic scale showing the development of individual immunity from the ontogenetic point of view has been drawn up, based on the evaluation of recent immuno-biological studies. Phagocytosis is considered a preliminary step, the triggering of delayed reaction as the first, antibody formation as the second step. Delayed reaction is discussed and its importance for immunopathology explained. Antibody formation starts with 19 S antibodies and proceeds to the 7 S antibodies. The schematic scale supplies a basic structure for the science of immuno-biology and new points of reference for the evaluation of vaccines.
