Re instructional theories of antibody formation, first proposal of “antigen-as template” by Topley, Breindl & Haurowitz, and others: B & H “proposed that an antigen would be carried in the body to the site of protein formation, where it would serve as a template upon which the nascent antibody molecule might be constructed” (Silverstein, 68-69). First documented (but unpublished) cures with impure penicillin (of two infants with ophthalmia neonatorum) by C. G. Paine, former student of Fleming (Wainwright, 42-47).
