A Factor in Human Gamma Globulin Preparations active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections

Summary A factor in the γ globulin fraction of human plasma has been shown to prevent death in mice from Ps. aeruginosa infections, when injected subsequent to the inoculation. Protection was demonstrated in normal mice, and in mice rendered more susceptible to this infection by pretreatment with cortisone, or by subjecting them to thermal trauma. Human serum albumin was without activity.

The acetylation of histamine in normal and enterectomized rats

Abstract The in vivo acetylation of histamine has been demonstrated in normal and enterectomized rats following subcutaneous histamine administration. These data demonstrate that acetylation of histamine can occur outside of the intestinal tract.
