asthenic exhibited a tendency toward greater variations in temperatxire 

 response. Irrespective of body type, the allergic patient showed wide 

 reactive variations. Hormonal imbalance also influenced the range of 

 temperature variationj this was noted particularly at the climacteric period. 

 Temperature curves after the administration of pyrifer were evaluated in 

 the patient with multiple sclerosis.

Splanchnic removal of bacteria from blood stream of pyrogen-tolerant rabbits 



Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol, and Med. 78:J+8-50, 195I 



Splanchnic removal of bacteria from the blood stream of stnimals with es- 

 tablished tolerance to pyrogens differed little from that observed in control 

 animals. No significant alteration in the rate of removal for M. aureus 

 or Klebsiella , pneumoniae type B, could be noted when continuous infusion 

 of the organisms had been preceded by injections of Pv. Piromen, the P25 

 polysaccharide of Shear, or triple typhoid vaccine.

Intracellular polysaccharide of Enterobacteriaceae 



J. Bact. 62:621-626, 1951 



Deeply staining polar bodies were seen in the cytoplasm of "smooth" strains 

 of Shigella , Salmonella , Escherichia , Aerobacter , Klebsiella and Serratia 

 marsescens , but not in so-called "rough" varieties. Such polar bodies may 

 be the sites of the polysaccharide hapten of the antigen.

Some effects of polysaccharide preparations from Serratia marcescens smd 

 Aerobacter aero genes on cells in tissue culture 



Cancer Res. ll:lj-25-l)-27, 195I 



No evidences of damage to tissue cult\ires of chick heart fibroblasts or 

 mouse sarcoma 37 cells could be noted when preparations of polysaccharide 

 materials from S. marcescens and A. aero genes were added to the nutrient 

 solutions. Some evidences of a stimulating effect on tissue growth could 

 be noted. This may be caused by an enzymatic breakdown of the polysaccharide 

 into simple sugars which supply energy for tissue functions. A detoxifying 

 mechanism may be involved. The hemorrhagic necrotic action of bacterial 

 polysaccharides may be one of anoxia after vascular damage occurring during 

 shock.
