چکیده

Rabbits sensitized to horse serum developed a bacteremia of 9 to 12 hours' duration when they were inoculated simultaneously with normal horse serum and a strain of Streptococcus hemolyticus, while the bacteria could only be isolated from the blood stream of non-sensitized animals within the first 3 hours after inoculation. On the other hand, when antisera are employed as the antigen for shocking the sensitized rabbits, there is a significant increase in the number of bacteria in the blood stream in contrast to the control animals, but there is no evidence of a prolongation of the bacteremia.

Studies on a Possible Correlation Between Experimental and Clinical Data Concerning the Response of Infection to Serum *

While studyihg the localization of Streptococcus viridans at sites of local antigen-antibody reactions in rabbits sensitized to horse serum, Weisberger (Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. & Med., 1932, 29, 445) observed that there was a difference in the rate of disappearance of these organisms from the blood stream of normal and of sensitive animals. In the case of the sensitive animals, the bacteremia w...

The Relation of Hypersensitivity to Localization in and Dissemination of Streptococcus Viridans from Incisor Teeth of Rabbits *

In the course of observations upon the relation of hypersensitivity to localization of Streptococcus viridans, it was observed that if the bacteria and normal horse serum are inoculated simultaneously, the blood stream of the sensitized rabbit retains the bacteria for a longer period than does that of the non-sensitized rabbit. A preliminary report"4 of these experiments was published in 1932. ...

The effect of natural adjuvants (G2, G2F) on lung inflammation of sensitized guinea pigs

Objective: The effects of natural adjuvants were examined on total and differential WBC counts in lung lavage of sensitized guinea pigs. Materials and Methods: In three sensitized groups of guinea pigs including: untreated sensitized animals (S), sensitized animals treated with adjuvant G2 (S+G2) and G2F (S+G2F) as well as non-sensitized group (C) (n=6 for each group), total and differential WB...

Blood Chemical Changes in Experimental Streptococcus Septicemia

The following changes have been found to occur in rabbits given fatal intravenous doses of Streptococcus hemolyticus: The blood sugar concentration drops at a constant rate throughout the disease, but does not reach a condition of hypoglycemia. Glycogen is present in the liver at death. The CO(2) capacity is lowered markedly at first, then returns to a somewhat higher level, at which it continu...
