I would think that in general you would expect to see less variability in the immune response (not necessarily in the range of targets) among lab animals. However naturally-generated immune sera are quite complex and need to be individually characterized once they are generated. Also remember that the paper you are reading is from 40+ years ago, before PCR, before easy DNA sequencing, before most bio-informatics, before most understanding of oncogenes, etc. | |
