The human immune system is comprised of about 2 X 10 lymphocytes containing approximately equal ratios of T and B cells. B lymphocytes synthesize immunoglobulins that are first expressed on their membranes as clonally distributed antigen-specific receptors and then secreted as antibodies following antigenic stimulation. The ability of the immune system to recognize antigens is remarkable. A human being can produce more than 10 antibodies with different specificities. The concentration of antibodies in human serum is 15 mg/ml, which represents about 3 x 10 immunoglobulin molecules per person! Since each B cell has approximately 10 antibody molecules of identical specificity on its surface, the human humoral immune system scans the antigenic ...
