Delves. E. Data from an immunological study of purified serum proteins, as a basis for the theory of the unity of antibodies. (The Journ of Inf. Diseases, vol. 60, 1937)

Abstract

In recent years, many works have appeared confirming the theory of Zinsser and Wells about the unity of antibodies. In the light of these studies, it becomes obvious that the solution of the problem of the unity or multiple antibodies can be achieved only with the use of an antiserum obtained by introducing a purified antigen instead of bacteria, erythrocytes or whole serum. By varying the physical state of the antigen under these conditions and testing homologous antisera, it is possible to study various reactions of the antigen with the antibody (precipitation, agglutination, complement binding, phagocytosis).
