Multiple Polymorphism in Relation to Histocompatibility Antigens
The extreme polymorphism of the histo-compatibility antigens may have evolved to ensure that the body of an individual is not invaded by cells from another individual of the same species.

“Self-recognition” in Colonial Marine Forms and Flowering Plants in relation to the Evolution of Immunity
Compatibility in colonial tunicates and coelenterates and self-incompatibility in flowering plants are primitive examples of “self” and “not-self” recognition which are not analogous to the immunological proce...

A Certain Symmetry : Histocompatibility Antigens compared with Immunocyte Receptors
Recent work on cancer immunity suggests that the character and diversity of cell membrane antigens may be controlled by processes similar to those concerned with the origin of specific patterns in the immune s...

Evolution of the Immune Process in Vertebrates
This article is a slightly up-dated version of the presidential address to the Australian Society of Immunologists given by Sir Macfarlane Burnet in December 1967. He suggests that the mammalian immune system ...

Assay of Corticosteroids in the Chick Embryo
FOR some time we have been studying various manifestations of the reaction induced in chick embryos by the inoculation of leucocytes from normal fowls (the Simonsen phenomenon) with special interest in the pro...

Loss of Specificity on Passage of Immunologically Competent Cells in the Chick Embryo
WHEN leucocytes from the blood of a fowl more than a few weeks old are placed on the chorioallantois of standard 12-day chick embryos, focal proliferative lesions are produced. These are well developed at four...

Failure to Recover Infective ‘Ribonucleic Acid’ from Myxovirus Preparations
IT now seems clear that preparations of infective ‘ribonucleic acid’ can be obtained from crude preparations of many animal viruses, although Colter et al. have reported failure with Bunyamwera virus preparations

Filamentous Forms of Influenza Virus
THERE is good evidence that the filamentous forms characteristic of many recently isolated strains of influenza A are infective units1; but their significance in relation to the process of influenza virus replica...

Hæmolysis by Newcastle Disease Virus
FOR a number of years it has been known in this laboratory that hæmolysis of moderate degree may occur when red cells are being treated with the viruses of mumps and Newcastle disease. This is not characterist...

Mucin as Substrate of Enzyme Action by Viruses of the Mumps Influenza Group
In previous work from this laboratory it has been found that the action of influenza viruses on red cells can be paralleled in almost complete detail by an enzyme produced by V. cholerce1 (Stone, 1947). In the co...

An Unsuspected Relationship between the Viruses of Vaccinia and Infectious Ectromelia of Mice
IT has been observed that emulsions in saline of the lesions produced on the chorioallantois by the virus of infectious ectromelia of mice have the capacity of agglutinating fowl erythrocytes. As is the case w...
