Passive Anaphylactic Sensitivity to Pneumococcal Capsular Polysaccharides

[摘要] These results suggest by inference that fatal passive anaphylactic sensitivity to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides is obtainable with proportions of antigen to antibody in which the amount of carbohydrate is slightly in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the available antibody. If the proportion of antigen is excessively large a negative result is obtained. If the amount of antigen is too small a similar negative result is obtained, and this is true in a region of combinations in which positive complement-fixation might be expected.
