Abstract excerpt
In this study, we examine the relationship between primary and secondary T cell-dependent immune responses using the response of xid mice to the hapten (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl (NP) as an experimental model. The reduced serologic primary immune response of xid mice was demonstrated to be caused by a substantially decreased Ab-forming cell (AFC) generation. Furthermore, the germinal center reaction in the...
