Abstract excerpt
An analysis of the theories of immunity-the germ line theory, the translocations and recombinations theory, the somatic mutation theory, and the reverse translation theory advanced earlier shows that their postulates afford no answer to any of the central questions of immunology, such as: 1) The origin of genetic information which codes the entire multimillion totality of immunologically different antibodies and...
