EFFECT OF MICROBIAL ANTIGENS ON IRRADIATION MORTALITY IN MICE

Journal Article · · Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med.
Irradiation mortality is reduced by approximately 50% in mice injected with zymosan (1000 gamma ) or with thermostable antigens from Proteus morganii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Escherichia coli. Soluble antigens from Gram-positive organisms, however, are ineffective. The greatest reduction of mortality is obtained by means of a Typhoid-Paratyphoid vaccine. (auth)
