Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture in India. Rinderpest - Further investigations on questions connected with the economical production of Antiserum (Veterinary Series) November 1913

1913

The method of estimating the dose of serum necessary to protect plains animals of lowest susceptibility as one-eighteenth of the amount required for hill cattle is based on observations made in the practical operation of serum in the field. [...] In the old method of preparing this serum a very large number of susceptible cattle were required for the provision of virulent blood used for the purpose of hyperimmunising the serum preparing cattle. [...] The following experiments were carried out to test the value of serum from bulls, hyperimmunised by injection of blood obtained from hill bulls, during the progress of a modified attack of Rinderpest. [...] 99 15th day 15th „ 15th „ 15th „ The above bulls were bled for serum on the 15th day after the injection at the rate of 6 c. c. [...] In order to compare the potency of serum obtained by the above method, with that of serum prepared by the ordinary method, six hill bulls of like age and size were immunised and subsequently hyperimmunised by injections of virus obtained from hill controls at the height of an unmodified attack of Rinderpest with fatal termination.
