Reaction of Young and Adult Rabbits to Pneumococci Injected into the Skin
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Young and adult rabbits react differently to intracutaneous injection of virulent pneumococci. In adult rabbits a very extensive inflammation develops at the site of infection and bacteriemia and death occur only in a relatively few rabbits. Young rabbits fail to develop extensive inflammation and die with bacteriemia. 2. It is probable that the fate of the animals is influenced by the capacity to develop inflammation at the site of injection of pneumococci.

Relation of Hypersensitiveness to Lesions in the Lungs of Rabbits Infected with Pneumococci
Certain writers have drawn attention to the effect of active immunization or sensitization (1-6) on the occurrence or character of lesions in the lungs of animals artificially infected with pneumococci. On the basis of these observations some investigators have attempted to explain the pathogenesis of pneumonia in man. In a recent paper, Stuppy, Cannon, and Falk (7) report that after daily insu...

1. Rabbits that had received repeated intravenous injections of heat-killed indifferent streptococci with no resulting sensitization were subsequently made skin-sensitive to them by repeated intracutaneous injection of heat-killed vaccine. 2. Serum agglutinins and precipitins developed earlier in rabbits that had received repeated intravenous injections of killed streptococci and pneumococci th...

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...

1. Homologous vaccine was injected into abdominal organs of rabbits after different intervals following sensitization by a single or by repeated intracutaneous injections of heat-killed pneumococci Type I or of formalin-killed hemolytic streptococci (Strain AB(13)). 2. Local inflammation with or without necrosis was observed in the liver and in the spleen of most of the rabbits. Injections into...

Objective(s): End-stage hepatic failure is a potentially life-threatening condition for which orthotopic liver transplantation is the only effective treatment. However, a shortage of available donor organs for transplantation each year results in the death of many patients waiting for liver transplantation. Xenotransplantation, or the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs between differe...
