## Abstract Tolerance induction of IgE antibodyโforming cells by dinitrophenylated levan (DNPโLE) conjugates was investigated in CBA mice. Antibody production was measured by passive coutaneous anaphylaxis on rat skin. Specific antibody neutralization was obtained with conjugates of different subst
Natural killer T (NKT) cells and CD5(+)B cells were searched for in various immune organs of autoimmune prone (NZBxNZW)F(1) (NZB/W F(1)) mice. The number of lymphocytes increased in the liver, spleen, and peritoneal cavity after the onset of disease (at the age of 30 weeks) while the number of thymo
## Abstract (NZB ร SJL)F~1~ (NS) female mice develop a marked hypertrophy of the thymus in the course of aging. The ageโdependent evolution of the intrathymic lymphocyte population of these mice was monitored in comparison with that of the immunologically normal BALB/c and C57BL/6 strains. The expr
