PASSIVE INTRAPERITONEAL MOUSE PROTECTION TEST IN A STUDY OF IMMUNE RESPONSE TO H. PERTUSSIS VACCINATION

[摘要] A passive mouse protection test and its use in testing sera from infants given a course of phase I pertussis vaccine is described. Infants 3 to 6 months of age consistently developed mouse protective antibodies following immunization with a phase I H. pertussis vaccine. Agglutinating antibodies did not develop consistently in these infants and the agglutinin titer did not closely parallel the values obtained by the mouse protection test.
