Reviews of recently publisteJ textbooks on Embryology 



..ANTIBODIES AND EMBRYOS" 

 1951 

 by W. F. Rogers Brambell. The Athlone Press 



W. A. Hemmings and M. Henderson London 



103 pages with 10 figures 



This book, which is based on the subject matter treated by one of the writers 

 in a series of lectures before the University of London, describes the authors' 

 recent researches on the passage of antibodies from the mother to the foetus 

 in rabbits. These researches indicate that the antibodies reach the foetus 

 by way of the uterine lumen and the yolk-sac, not by way of the placenta. An 

 account is given of current knowledge on the transmission of passive immunity 

 from mother to young in Mammals. The purpose of the book is rather to discuss 

 the imphcations of the series of researches dealt with than to provide a critical 

 and exhaustive review of the hterature. The fundamental problem involved is 

 the mechanism of transmission of proteins across living membranes. The book 

 is primarily addressed to vertebrate embryologists, immunologists, veterinarians
