ON THE NATURE OF IMMUNITY IN ANTHRAX. THE EFFECT OF TRAUMA AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NERVOUS SYSTEM IN THE IMMUNITY IN ANTHRAX - COMMUNICATION III

Abstract

The experiments point to the significance of the nervous system in immunity in anthrax. Previous experiments in vaccination with the formalinized culture of the agent of anthrax showed that one can effect the mechanism of development of immunity in anthrax through the controlled modification of the reactivity of the organism to the vaccinal preparations. The data cited in this report attest to the fact that in the appropriate action on the nervous system the reactivity of the organism as a whole is modified, in consequence of which the immune status of the rabbits, vaccinated against anthrax, is destroyed for a period of time.
