  Dear Professor Lamb:

  The paper by L. O. Brockway and N. R. Davidson on "The Molecular Structures of the Dimers of Aluminum Dimethyl Chloride, Aluminum Dimethyl Bromide, Aluminum Trimethyl and of Haxamethyl Disilane" seems to me to be a satisfactory investigation. There is only one point of question which I raise. As the authors point out, the ethane-like structure for the dimer of aluminum trimethyl which they report is not very reasonable chemically, and it might be expected that this substance would have a structure similar to that of the other aluminum compounds investigated, even though that structure also does not seem very reasonable for the methyl compound. The authors say that they have eliminated structures of this sort, but it seems to me that their study of these possibilities have been more thorough. If the authors feel, however, that their investigation has been sufficiently thorough so that there is no chance of error, I recommend publication of the paper. These substances are indeed very interesting ones.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  The paper by Kleene and Wheland seems to me to be worthy of publication. I would think, however, that it might well be possible to describe the results given in the table in a few sentences in the text, thus avoiding the extra cost of setting up the table. I recommend acceptance for publication, with this suggestion.

  PROPERTIES OF ANTIBODIES

  By Linus Pauling

  September 26, 1941

  During recent years there has been developed through the work of many investigators (Landsteiner, Heidelberger, Haurowitz, Marrack, Stuart Mudd, and others) a general idea of the nature of immunological processes. This has been extended into a detailed picture of the structure and process of formation of antibodies by the application of our present knowledge of the structure of molecules and the nature of intermolecular interactions.

  My collaborators, Dr. Dan Campbell, Dr. David Pressman, and Mr. Carol Ikeda, and I have now obtained quantitative experimental results along several lines which support this picture.

  We have found that bivalent and trivalent haptenes, similar to those used by Landsteiner and van der Scheer, give precipitates with antibody-antigen molecular ratio close to 1. this and other results support the postulate that antibodies effective in the precipitin reaction are bivalent.

  Precipitates have also been obtained between antiserum and azoproteins with an average of only two haptenes per molecule. It has also been found that haptenes can be attached by azo groups to erythrocytes without hemolyzing the cells, and agglutination of cells has been produced with only about fifty haptenes per cell.

  It was predicted that antibodies could be manufactured outside of the animal by a process of denaturing a protein and slowly renaturing it in the presence of antigen. This has now been done, with use of a variety of denaturing agents. The dye methyl blue and an azo dye containing atoxyl have been used as antigens. The protein solutions obtained have various properties characteristic of antibodies, including specificity to the antigen used and solubility of antigen-antibody precipitate in excess of antigen or of haptene.
