Abstract
Summary
Mouse antibody was found to be more effective than rabbit antibody in sensitizing the mouse uterus to the specific antigen. It was also found that B. pertussis cells do not affect the sensitization of the mouse uterus when the mouse is sensitized by passive means. When the active method of sensitization of mice was employed, however, B. pertussis accelerated the appearance of sensitivity of the uterus as demonstrated by the Schultz-Dale reaction.
The authors wish to express their appreciation to Dr. R. L. Anacker for his helpful suggestions and criticisms in writing this manuscript.
