UNIVERSAL SEROLOGIC REACTION IN RABBIT SYPHILIS

[摘要] Universal serological reactions were obtained in rabbits before and after infection with syphilis and after admn. of penicillin therapy using various types of infections. The results suggest that the specific serodiagnostic reaction in syphilis is the result of an intensified universal reaction which develops specific characteristics in the presence of syphilis. The nonspecific serodiagnostic reactions given by some of the rabbits before inoculation are apparently the result of natural universal reactions of sufficient intensity to reach the serodiagnostic zone.
