title: Production of auto-anti-idiotype antibody during the normal immune response. XI. Ficoll-induced variations in auto-anti-idiotype production during the response to 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-Ficoll.
abstract: The responses to 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl conjugates of different Ficoll preparations differ with respect to the magnitude of the accompanying auto-anti-idiotype (Id) response in both mice and chickens. Evidence is presented that reduced auto-anti-Id production in the chicken is due to the activation of suppressor activity by some preparations of Ficoll.
