Cellular Phases of the Immune Response Following Immunization with Mammalian and Bacterial Ribosomes

Nucleic Acids in Immunology

Abstract

With the avalanche of information concerning nucleic acids currently accumulating from many scientific disciplines, a more complete knowledge of the biological role of nucleic acids is evolving simultaneously. As immunologists, it is necessary to consider that any given animal host is actually a complete and functioning ecological unit of specialized cells, all of which were derived from one fertilized ovum. As yet, we are still uncertain as to what particular cells function as immunocompetent cells in maintaining the integrity of the animal in a continually changing environment. All somatic cells of a given individual in interphase supposedly contain the same genetic material (DNA) of which only a small portion is involved or “turned on” in the transcription of messenger RNA (Frenster, 1965). It is tempting to speculate that the “turning-on” and “turning-off” of genes might well be one physiological function of the host’s immune system. With this perspective, we wish to present a portion of our research experience in the immunization of experimental animals with mammalian and bacterial ribosomes.
