The Dilution of Vaccine Lymph with Glycerine, &c.

چکیده
By Robert Harvey, M.B., Astistant Surgeon, Bengal Army. Medical science in. India can point to few things capable of producing a more demonstrable result for good than vaccination. Small-pox, the poison of which, once introduced, finds in the imprisoned air and general insanitary conditions of native dwellings the fitting nidus in which it multiplies itself a hundred-fold, forces itself on the notice of the meanest villager, and hy its ravages refuses to be ignored. There have been times when it has inspired such terror that thousands have fled before it. The memory of such visitations does not readily grow dim, and there is probably no disease, (cholera is a doubtful exception,) of which there is a greater dread in India. Such being the case, it may appear matter of surprise that any difficulty should be made about the reception of vaccination; nor is it likely that there would be, were the people thoroughly convinced of its prophylactic power. The superstitious reverence of " Sitla," the deference to old custom, the dislike of innovation, the vested rights of ignorant and interested inoculators, and all other causes which now impede the work, would yield at

Effect of Penicillin on Vaccine Virus and Its Value in Purification of Vaccine Lymph
Numerous methods have been tried for reducing the bacterial count of calf lymph without diminishing its potency. Gins (1924) and Lehmann (1937) have used carbolic acid as an agent for the destruction of bacteria in lymph. Stevenson and Butler (1936) drew attention to the value of phenol as an agent for preventing accidental contamination of lymph. They found that lymph made up into 50 per cent ...
متن کاملReport of Experimental Work on the Dilution Method of Immunization from Rabies
1. I have simplified the dilution method by using a stock glycerine emulsion of the virulent cord, from which the desired dilutions can be readily prepared. The proportion of glycerine should not exceed (1/5) part, if it is desired to retain the full virulence of the emulsion. 2. There is some danger of giving rabies to animals in the dilution immunization treatment, a danger which is not prese...
متن کاملManufacture of Vaccine Lymph. Economy in the Use of Seed Lymph
While studying the manufacture of vaccine lymph at Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, Elstree (Herts), England, the author saw that lapine was being used in a dilution of 1 : 25 for vaccination of sheep for the production of vaccine lymph. On return from there in December 1949, the author thought of trying the dilution of seed lymph and lapine for vaccination of calves as that leads to ec...
متن کاملOptimization of incubation temperature in embryonated chicken eggs inoculated with H9N2 vaccinal subtype of avian influenza virus
There are little information about growth properties of low pathogenic (LP) avian influenza virus (AIV) in embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) at different incubation temperatures. Knowledge of this information increases the quantity and quality of antigen in vaccine production process. For this purpose, 10-5 dilution of AIV (A/Chicken/Iran/99/H9N2) was inoculated (Intra-allantoic) into ...
