A TEST OF SPECIFIC SERUMS FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY PROPHYLACTIC FOR BRUCELLOSIS
Abstract
Specific Vi serums can be used for extraordinary prophylactics and possibly for therapy of brucellosis. Vi serums during tests in vitro acted as bactericides, activated the phagocytic activity of the leukocytes and contained a full selection of antibodies. They proved to be high preventative measures in animals. Multiple introductions of Vi serum contributed to the localization of the brucella in levels of the first complex and caused the later sterilization of the white mice infected. There is required a more accurate selection of strains and a calculation of their antigenic structure and better methods of preparing antigens. Thus Vi serum may mean a future prophylactic and medicinal serum.
