A new method of preparing infusion fluids 



J. A.M. A, 109:250-252, 1937 



Filtration through adsorptive filters and a 200-second Zsigmondy 

 filter will render saline and dextrose solutions pyrogen-free. 

 The Seitz serum #3 was employed .

 Filtration studies on pyrogenic inulin 



Proc, Soc. Exper. Biol, Med. 36:227-230, 1937 



Dahlia inulin, given intravenously, produced fever and leuko- 

 penia. The pyrogen particle resembles that found in infusion 

 fluids and can be adsorbed by standard methods.

 Typhoid leucociden 



Proc, Soc. Exper. Biol. Med, 36:6l, 1937 



The activity of a typhoid toxic fraction, leucociden, on normal 

 rabbits' blood and non-immune human blood, was manifested by a 

 reduction in the number of leukocytes present as the concen- 

 tration of toxin was increased. Only the granulocytes were 

 affected. Neutrophils which survived showed degenerative changes 

 The alcohol precipitate was stable for oneyear or more without 

 loss of potency. An Incomplete inactivation could be produced 

 by heat. Specific immune globulin (Pellx anti-typhoid serum) 

 neutralized the toxin. One preparation of leucocidin contained 

 19.9 per cent of carbohydrate calculated as glucose. 



254, FEVER THERAPY (A symposium) 



New York, Paul Hoeber, Inc., 1937 



Therapeutic fever production by physical and bacterial agents 

 was considered by International authorities, A discussion 

 of the antichanchrold vaccine of Rimbaud was included.
