[The possibility of predicting the degree of plasmacyte reaction in response to administration of soluble antigen to mice].

The work is devoted to the mathematical description of the accumulation of plasma cells in the spleen of CBA mice immunized intraperitoneally. A dependence between the dynamics of the soluble antigen concentration in the blood and the plasmocytic reaction in the spleen was confirmed under experimental conditions. Index A was suggested for detection of a change from the antigenic function to the accumulation of plasma cells. The mean values of index A were used to compare the calculated values of the plasmocytic reaction and the experimental data; differences between these values were insignificant. Analogously index A was used for predicting the accumulation of plasma cells in the animals to which a mixture of the two soluble antigens (a capsular antigen of the causative agent of plague and a complete antigen of the causative agent of tularemia) was administered. The calculated values of the plasmocytic reaction in this experiment satisfactorily correlated with the data obtained experimentally.
