In recent years, the study of antibody synthesis in vitro has aroused considerable interest. Not only does it enable the immunologists to study the phenomenon of antibody formation at a cellular level, free from various factors often associated in a whole body, but also it serves as a model for biochemists in the study of biosynthesis of a specific protein. An antigen is a complex molecule, and very often it contains more than one determinant group that can elicit antibody response. The antibody thus demonstrated in an in vitro system against a microbial antigen cannot necessarily be equated with a measure of immunity against the infection.
