COMPLEMENT FIXING ANTIBODIES IN GUINEA PIGS IMMUNIZED WITH TYPE 3 ADENOPHARYNGOCONJUNCTIVAL VIRUS

Complement-fixing antibodies in cattle experimentally infected with Theileria annulata or vaccinated with tissue cultures

Some observations on complement-fixing antibodies to the EB virus.

Complement-fixing antibodies against an antigen prepared from the EB3 line of cultured Burkitt tumour cells were studied in various groups of patients and control individuals. Higher antibody titres were observed in patients with Burkitt's tumour than in African patients with other diagnoses. Significantly more medical students and nurses with a history of infectious mononucleosis possessed ant...

Suppressed penicillin toxicity in immunized guinea pigs surviving challenge with western equine encephalitis virus.

Since the original report of D. M. Hamre et al. (Am. J. Med. Sci. 206:642, 1943), it has been well documented that penicillin is toxic to the guinea pig. In our preliminary investigations into penicillin toxicity in guinea pigs, animals were available that had been vaccinated against the virus of Western equine encephalitis (WEE) and had resisted intracerebral challenge with live virus (L. N. B...

Complement-fixing antivirus antibodies in patients with leukemia.

N OT ALL ANIMALS carrying an oncogenic virus develop the tumor associated with this virus.1 Further, it has been shown that polyoma virus is vide1v distributed in mouse P0PUlatiO1i5 in which polyoma-induced tumors are rare or do not occur at all.2 The possibility exists, therefore, that a virus which is )otentially oncogenic in man ii a ’ be widely distributed in human populations. either as a ...

Preparation of type 2 herpes simplex virus complement-fixing antigen.

Comparable complement-fixing antigens of type 1 and type 2 herpes simplex virus were produced by extraction of infected African green monkey cells with 0.85% NaCl which was buffered at pH 9.0 with 0.05 m glycine-NaOH. The optimal antigen dilutions were higher in titrations against hyperimmune animal sera than in titrations against human sera. Complement-fixing antibody to type 2 herpes antigen ...
