Further observations on specific inhibition of bacteriophage 

 action 



Proc, Soc, Exper. Biol, Med, 31:^6, 1933 



Specific inhibition of bacteriophage by two extracts from or- 

 ganisms of the Salmonella group was reported (Proc, Soc, Exper. 

 Biol, Med. 30:993^ 1933). In addition, the specificity of the 

 inhibition was determined through isolation of specific 

 phages for B, paratyphosa B and B, suipestifer from chicken stool 

 filtrates. The extract of B. suipestifer had only a feeble 

 influence on anti-B, paratyphosa phage, while the latter was 

 inhibited markedly paratyphosa B« extract. The latter was only 

 slightly specific for antl-B, suipestifer phage; its homologous 

 extract was far more potent as an inhibitor. The order of acti- 

 vity of extracts did not run parallel to living bacillus phage 

 titer,

Prevention of chills following transfusion of citrated blood 



J. A.M. A, 100:^66-^69, 1933 



Transfusion reaction rates were reduced 1 to 12 per cent by care- 

 ful preparation of solution and rigorous antisepsis of apparatus 

 used in transfusion. Pyrogen reactions are reduced to a mini- 

 mum by such precautions.

The cause and elimination of reactions after intravenous infusions 



Surg, Gynec. and Obst , 56:956, 1933 



Pyrogenic reactions are produced by toxic by-products elaborated 

 by the bacteria and not by bacterial components. Careful dis- 

 tillation, immediate sterilization and cautious attention to 

 the prevention of later contamination will reduce pyrogens in 

 fluid.
