Immunological studies on tetanus toxoid

T toxoid is one of the most successful vaccines used in immunization programme almost all over the world. Neonatal tetanus can be prevented by immunizing women of childbearing age with tetanus toxoid, either during pregnancy or outside of pregnancy. Tetanus vaccine is used either in mono or in combination with other antigens i.e. Diphtheria, Pertussis (whole cell or acellular), Hepatitis B, Hae...

Immunological studies on Behçet's syndrome.

Summarized results of the clinical and laboratory findings in 85 cases of Beh9et's syndrome seen at our clinic between September, 1957, and April, 1961, have already been reported (Oshima, Shimizu, Yokohari, Matsumoto, Kano, Kagami, and Nagaya, 1963). Investigation revealed a high incidence of abnormalities, not only in the mouth, eyes, and genital organs, but also in the intestine, cerebrospin...

Immunological studies on Histoplasma capsulatum.

Alveolar macrophages freshly harvested from normal and immunized rabbits were parasitized with yeast cells and protoplasts of Histoplasma capsulatum. Macrophages obtained from either normal or sensitized rabbits failed to phagocytize protoplasts, whereas, the yeast cells were actively ingested. There was no detectable intracellular killing by macrophages. A serological similarity was found betw...

Chemo-immunological Studies on Conjugated Carbohydrate-proteins

1. Type-specific antipneumococcus immunity has been induced in rabbits by immunization with antigen prepared by combining a specific derivative of the capsular polysaccharide of Type III Pneumococcus with globulin from horse serum. 2. Rabbits immunized with this antigen acquire active immunity against infection with virulent Type III pneumococci. 3. The sera of the immune rabbits contain type-s...
