An Analysis of Rabbit Mortality and Plasma Potency in Production of Anti-Haemophilus Influenzae Type b Rabbit Serum

Abstract

Data from a study of more than ten thousand rabbits have been analyzed and mortality curves plotted in order to predict volumes of blood obtainable at various periods of immunization. In addition, a tabulation has been prepared in which potency and mortality studies are correlated. Within the specifications of the production methods employed, it is possible to establish the earliest practical time for taking volume bleedings.
