Abstract
Mice of various strains were immunized with pneumococcal polysaccharide type 14 (pneumo-14), and their anti-pneumo-14 antibodies were measured by the Farr test. Mice of strains BALB/c, ST/b, NZB and CBA (Ig allotypes a, e or j) had 300-1700 ng of antibody nitrogen per millilitre of serum on day 7. The corresponding values for C57BL/Ka, RF or AKR mice (allotypes b, c or d) were 40-300 ng/ml. Two families of congenic strains were tested, one with the C57BL and the other with the BALB/c background genome. Their response was either high or low depending on the VH genes, and other gene loci had little effect on the concentration of anti-pneumo-14 antibodies.Entities:
