title: Production of guinea pig IgG1 homocytotropic antibodies to hapten-conjugated homologous serum albumin with different adjuvant combinations.
abstract: The effects of various antigen-adjuvant combinations on the production of IgG1 antibody was investigated with p-aminobenzoate conjugated to guinea pig serum albumin. The results demonstrate the importance that initial exposure of antigen-adjuvant combination has on IgG1 production. Further, there is a synergistic effect when antigen adsorbed to alum and antigen with complete Freund's adjuvant were used in conjunction with one another. The result of this effect is discussed within the context of T and B cell activation by antigen-adjuvant combinations.
