Production of the Shwartzman Phenomenon by a Single-injection Technic
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the hypersensitive animal a single inoculation of homologous antigen mixed with Shwartzman preparatory toxin may lead to the production of a Shwartzman reaction which functions as an amplifier of the antigen-antibody tissue response. The combination of antigen and bacterial toxin does not alter the antigenicity of purified bovine gamma globulin. This form of the Shwartzman phenomenon may be useful in the investigation of hyperergic tissue reactions.

The Extension of the Shwartzman Phenomenon to the Mouse and Some Ecological Determinants of the Single-injection Reaction
The localized Shwartzman reaction has been demonstrated in a highly inbred mouse strain (BSVS). This reaction was produced with marked regularity in these mice by administration of relatively small doses of bacterial endotoxin or other Shwartzman-active agents. It is considered the equivalent of the phenomenon described in the rabbit inasmuch as it has conformed to all the operational and histo...
متن کاملStudies on the Generalized Shwartzman Reaction
Intravenous injection of thorotrast or trypan blue rendered rabbits susceptible to the production of bilateral cortical necrosis of the kidneys by a single intravenous injection of small amounts of meningococcal or Serratia marcescens toxin. This reaction was not produced when thorotrast or trypan blue were injected after toxin had been given. A single intradermal injection of toxin produced he...
متن کاملInhibition of the Shwartzman Phenomenon
The Shwartzman phenomenon can be inhibited by an intravenous injection of a potent bacterial filtrate within a few hours before or after the preparatory intradermal injection. The inhibitory effect is produced non-specifically by filtrates potent in the elicitation of the Shwartzman phenomenon, and it is of a transitory nature. The relation of the observation described to anaphylactic desensiti...
متن کاملExperimental Production of Hemorrhage and Vascular Lesions in Lymph Nodes: an Extension of the Shwartzman Phenomenon
Characteristic changes are produced in the lymph nodes of rabbits following the intravenous injection of certain bacterial filtrates administered 24 hours after either an intralymphatic or an intradermal injection of the same filtrate. These changes are limited to the nodes served by the lymphatic injected or to those furnishing the lymphatic drainage for the injected skin site. By either metho...
متن کاملMetabolism of Acid Mucopolysaccharides in the Shwartzman Phenomenon* by Gerald
The two-stage inflammatory state observed by Sanarelli (1) and by Shwartzman (2) is considered an interesting, although not entirely understood, reaction of tissue. The reaction localized to skin, referred to as the Shwartzman phenomenon, represents a special type of inflammatory change, one requiring "preparation" of tissue by intracutaneous injection, usually of an endotoxin from Gram-negativ...
