Relation of Adrenal Cortical Steroids to Antibody Release

Abstract

Since the admn. of adrenal cortical hormone to immune animals results in a marked increase of antibody titer presumably released from circulating lymphocytes, an attempt was made to determine if normal animals which had received suspensions of immune lymphocytes by intraven. injn. would experience a similar increase in antibody titer. No such phenomenon was observed either with or without the stimulus of adrenal cortical hormone admn.
