abstract：:Between the ages of 2 to approximately 11 days mice respond to a challenge with syngeneic IgE by producing anti-IgE antibodies; by the age of 2 weeks they are unresponsive. Even adult mice, however, produce high titers of anti-IgE antibodies when immunized with a conjugate of syngeneic IgE and a foreign antigen such a...
