Antidotal activity of British anti-lewisite against compounds of antimony, gold and mercury.

Effect of gold on the immune response of mice.

Separate concurrent injection of organic gold compounds and antigen into mice resulted in immunoenhancement that could be measured by direct and indirect plaque-forming cells, rosette-forming cells, and serum antibody assays. Kinetics of the immune response showed variable effects through day 9 of the experiment. Studies with British anti-lewisite, a gold antagonist, showed that the gold must s...

British anti-lewisite; arsenic and thiol excretion in animals after treatment of lewisite burns.

Clinical Uses of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol (bal). X. the Treatment of Acute Systemic Mercury Poisoning

Although chemical agents were not employed as offensive weapons during the past war, nevertheless it was imperative to pursue vigorously investigations on the treatment of chemical warfare casualties. Inasmuch as a number of chemical warfare agents contain arsenic, attention was focused on the synthesis of compounds capable of antagonizing the local and systemic effects of arsenical vesicants. ...
