resources for active and passive immunization against the toxic effects of infection by elastase, forming bacteria and process for manufacturing the same

摘要

The toxic effects of infection by elastase-elaborating bacteria are minimised by parenteral administration of sufficient purified bacterial elastase to elicit antibody formation. The bacteria is e.g., a Pseudomonas organism such as P.aeruginosa. Alternatively immune serum contg. the antibodies may be parenterally administered. The serum may be prepd. by prior parenteral administration of purified bacterial elastase to a donor animal.
