Abstract The course of the primary immunologic response after unilateral destruction of the posterior hypothalamic nuclei is atypical, antibody synthesis is depressed, antibodies can be detected later, and the number of antibody-forming cells is reduced. Electron-microscopic investigations revealed a decrease in the functional activity of the plasma cells, a relative predominance of young undifferentiated cells of the plasma-cell series, and a decrease in the number of mature differentiated forms, evidently reflecting the reduced rate of differentiation of immunocompetent cells.
