Comparison of the shock-inducing effect of anti-mouse anti-thymocyte horse serum and normal horse serum. II. Tests with ten-day-old mice.

Abstract

Studying the shock-inducing effect of ATS and NHS in young (10-day-old) mice weighing 10-11 g, the authors have found that normal serum proved to be a significantly stronger sensitizing agent. Such a difference in the shock-inducing effect of the two sera can no longer be observed in the course of challenge. The paper discusses the observed phenomenon, taking into account the data available on the ontogeny of the immune apparatus of the mice.
