like snow against a fence are help ing scientists measure the size and shape of the molecules The technique is described by three researchers including a Roswell Park Memorial Insti tute biochemist in the Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Cytology Dr Alfred Nisonoff of Roswell Park worked out the method of purifying the antibody in collab oration with Dr David Press man the chief of bio chemistry research Dr Hall and Slayter of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology developed the technique of measuring the individual antibodies as seen in an electron microscope An antibody is a specific sub stance produced in the body as the reaction to the presence of a foreign substance or antigen Dr Nisonoff purified a specific rabbit antibody (anti azoben zoate) A solution of this antibody was sprayed on a mica surface with a high pressure spray gun Mi nute particles of platinum were then evaporated across the anti body field These piled up against the antibody molecules as snow piles up against a fence The snow fence effect and its shadows were photographed under the electron microscope at a magnification of 15000 The size and shape of the molecules were determined from prints of 100000 magnification by meas uring the shadows cast by the platinum drifts lodged against the antibody molecules The antibody molecules they found are asymmetrical rod like particles about one millionth of an inch in length and five to ten times smaller in diameter The scientists hope to learn from such studies more about how antibodies combine with the antigens or foreign sub stances to destroy them MORE SALT BARRELS SOUGHT OR WAR ON WINTER TIE UPS The first step in a program to relieve traffic congestion at via ducts bridges and key intersec tions when temperature changes occur
