THE CAPACITY OF PREVENTION WITH RESPECT TO THE TETANUS ANTITOXIN ACQUIRED BY THE RABBIT WHEN TREATED WITH HORSE SERUM. PASSIVE TRANSMISSION IN THE GUINEA PIG

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that the tetanus antitoxin of equine origin when injected into rabbits treated previously with many injections of horse serum, disappeared very rapidly from the blood circulation, when it was introduced intravenously, and failed to appear when injected by the subcutaneous or intrperitoneal methods. The present experiments shows that it is possible to transmit passively this property acquired by rabbits hyperimmunized with respect to horse serum. It demonstrates therefore the importance of antibodies (antihorse) in circulation.
