Image extracted from a glass plate display, "Pictures of Antibodies," prepared for the First International Poliomyelitis Conference, New York. Captions read, counter-clockwise from top left: "A gamma-globulin peptide chain just synthesized and beginning to fold."; "The ends of the chain fold into structures complementary to portions of the antigen."; "The chain continues to coil and forms a completed antibody molecule."; "Finally the antibody will dissociate from the antigen and float away."
