Abstract

When chloramphenicol (CM) is given in sufficient quantity before immunization or early in the inductive phase of antibody synthesis, there is an attenuation of antibody formation. This has been shown in animals and in cultures of lymphoid tissue [1–8]. Despite these studies, there is little information about the cellular aspects of the immune process in the presence of CM.
