Abstract

From the time of the earliest awareness of the existence of immunity against infectious agents in the animal body, much interest was focussed on the source of this effect, and on the substances responsible for it, primarily antibodies. In the course of this search some major organ and cell systems of the animal body were considered as possible sites for the production of these vital substances, which are essential for the body to withstand infection.
