Release of antigen E-'*' I Tmm the site of subcutaneous injection in male rats was delayed significantly when either of two alum-precipitated preparations containing l.Ck1.2 mg ofAl/rnl was administered rather than an aqueous preparation. The rates of '*'I excretion were similarly influenced being statistically slower through the first week after single doses of the alum-precipitated preparations. The results of these studies strongly support the view that alum-precipitated vaccines offer more protection from system reactions than aqueous vaccines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
