Dr. Mansoor ul Hassan
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Baltimore 5, Maryland
Dear Dr. Hassan:
I am glad to have your letter, and the suggestion that an experiment be carried out to demonstrate coiling of polypeptide chains to form antibodies in vitro.
We carried out experiments of this sort over ten years
ago. Results are described in a note in Science. 95, 440
(1942), and a paper in the Journal of Experimental Medicine,76, 211 (1942). We carried out some more experiments, hoping
to manufacture antibodies that would have protective power, but
the results were not very good, and we have not published any-
thing more on this. One of the men in the laboratory, Dr. Frank
Dickey, has published a paper on the manufacture of specific
silica gels to order.
I am sending you separately a reprint of our antibody paper of 1940 and a couple of reprints about the manufacture of specific gels. I am sorry that I do not have copies of the papers on the production of artificial antibodies.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
