Immune Responses of Inbred Mice to Repeated Low Doses of Antigen: Relationship to Histocompatibility (H-2) Type

Immunization of inbred strains of mice with repeated minute doses (0.1 to 1.0 microgram) of hapten-protein conjugates demonstrated wide differences in the magnitude of their antibody responses, which were related to the histocompatibility (H-2) type of the strains. Immunization with a single high dose (100 micrograms) of antigen failed to demonstrate these differences.
