Studies on the Pathogenesis of Fever

چکیده
In the course of a survey of the effect of injection of extracts and suspensions of normal tissues upon body temperature in rabbits (1), it was found that the intravenous inoculation of suspensions of whole polymorphonuclear leukocytes, extracts from these cells, or supernatant fluids obtained from sterile peritoneal exudates containing granulocytes produced febrile responses in normal rabbits. The present report describes experiments designed to characterize the agent or agents responsible for the rise of body temperature.
