Experimental Studies on Pneumococcus Infections
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Phagocytosis of pneumococci in vitro runs parallel with phagocytosis in vivo. 2. Virulence depends not only on resistance to phagocytosis, but also on the ability to grow in the body of the animal. 3. The biological reaction of the pigeon to pneumococcus infection does not differ from that of the mouse. 4. The "immunity" of the pigeon to pneumococcus infection is due to its normal high temperature.

Studies on the Somatic C Polysaccharide of Pneumococcus
The capacity of the serum of rabbits following intradermal pneumococcus infections to precipitate in the presence of pneumococcus C polysaccharide has been studied during the resultant periods of active infection and during recovery. In rabbits infected with Type I, III, or VIII pneumococci, large hemorrhagic lesions are produced which frequently bring about death of the animals after a febrile...
متن کاملSecond Paper: Action of Immune Sera on Pneumococcus Infection.* by Augustus B. Wadsworth, M.d
In my first paper on " ' Studies on Pneumococcus Infection in Animals , I summarized in the introduction the significant results of previous work and then recorded my experimental studies on the action of the pneumococcus on animal tissues and of immune sera on the pneumococcus. The present paper deals with .the action of immune sera on pneumococcus infection and with the mechanism of recovery ...
متن کاملStudies on Host Factors in Pneumococcus Infections
The power of specific antipneumococcus serum to protect rabbits against infection with Type I Pneumococcus has been studied with reference to the capacity of the animal to utilize the specific antibodies. Under conditions ensuring relatively controlled genetic factors it was found that heavier animals and those with high white blood cell counts are much better able to utilize the passively conf...
متن کاملResistance 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 کاملStudies on Blood Changes in Pneumococcus Infections
In the occasional cases of pneumonia which show a decrease in the oxygen capacity of the blood, the decrease is probably due to a formation of methemoglobin. The latter is removed from the circulation, however, as rapidly as it is formed, so that it can seldom be detected even qualitatively, and is probably never a cause of cyanosis.
