Abstract
Serum from mice injected intraperitoneally with a single dose of pseudomonas vaccine passively protected other mice against a lethal intraperitoneal Pseudomonas aeruginosa challenge. Early protection was given mainly by the IgM fraction of serum of vaccinated mice; 6–14 days after vaccination protection was given mainly by the IgG fraction.
