The Evaluation of Active Resistance to Pneumococcus Infection in Rabbits
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dermal pneumococcus infection has been employed to determine the active resistance of rabbits against infection, and an evaluating scale of the gradient of resistance has been established. The significance of the various degrees of resistance has been discussed, and the possible general inferences of the findings indicated.

Resistance to Pneumococcus Infection in Rabbits following Immunizing Injections of Heat-killed Pneumococcus Suspensions
The degree and duration of the active resistance against pneumococcus infection have been determined in rabbits which received intravenous injections of a heat-killed suspension of pneumococci of the three principal types. The resistance induced by the immunization procedure varied in degree and in duration with each type of Pneumococcus.
متن کاملActive and Passive Immunity to Pneumococcus Infection Induced in Rabbits by Immunization with R Pneumococci
1. Rabbits, vaccinated by repeated intravenous injections of suspensions of heat-killed R pneumococci, acquire a marked degree of active immunity to infection with the virulent S forms of Pneumococcus Types I and II. Previously (1) it was shown that the immunization of rabbits with R cells induces active resistance to Type III infection. This immunity is effective when the infecting organisms a...
متن کاملReactions of Rabbits to Intracutaneous Injections of Pneumococci and Their Products
1. Following repeated intracutaneous injections of heat-killed pneumococci rabbits acquire an increased skin reactivity. 2. The increased skin reactivity reaches a maximum after 4 to 6 injections have been made, after which it becomes greatly diminished. 3. The relationship of increased skin reactivity to active resistance to infection by Pneumococcus, and to the presence of species-specific an...
متن کاملStudies on Immunity to Pneumococcus Mucosus (type Iii)
1. Immunization of rabbits with Type III pneumococci is effective in producing active immunity against infection with a virulent strain of the homologous organism. 2. Immunization of rabbits with Type I or II pneumococci, and with R forms derived from any of the fixed types, is equally effective in producing active immunity against Type III infection. 3. Immunization of rabbits with nucleoprote...
متن کاملThe Effect of Sulfapyridine upon the Development of Immunity to Pneumococcus in Rabbits
1. Sulfapyridine, administered to rabbits during the period of developing immunity after a single intravenous injection of heat-killed Pneumococcus Type I, exerted no influence upon the immune response. 2. Active immunity as indicated by increased resistance to homologous intradermal infection was present 48 hours after the immunizing injection and 2 days before circulating type specific antibo...
