Conditioned reflex regulation of the serum globulin level

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Experiments were conducted on oxen to study the conditioned-reflex mechanism responsible for maintaining the serum globulins at a high level. The results confirmed the theory that the immunological reactions of the organims are regulated by a conditioned-reflex mechanism and shed light on the physiological mechanisms of the cortical control of antibody synthesis. Apparently conditioned-reflex stimuli modify the intensity of the general nonspecific function of the immunogenetic apparatus, namely the synthesis of immune globulins, and thereby regulate the synthesis and production of specific antibodies.
