Abstract
Rabbit spleen cells, which have been treated in vitro with certain rabbit or guinea-pig antisera (e.g. against human serum albumin) and washed, are capable of specifically adsorbing radio-isotope labelled antigen. The antibody responsible for this effect appears to be distinct from the main precipitating antibody in the serum and the term `cytophilic antibody' has been suggested. The activity of the cytophilic antibody is not destroyed by heating at 56° C. for half an hour.Keywords
