Abstract
An ultrastructural study of antibody formation in the lymphoid cells of the lymph glands was carried out in C3HA mice using horseradish peroxidase as the antigen. The perinuclear space and tubules of the granular endoplasmic reticulum are the primary zones of synthesis and accumulation of antibodies inside the immunocompetent cells. Much less activity of the reaction was observed in the lamellar component of the Golgi apparatus and on the ribosomes.
