Abstract
Choleragen, an antigenic, choleragenic protein moiety isolated from cultures of chlorea vibrios, administered parenterally, immunized adult rabbits against intestinal challenge with either living cholera vibrios or with choleragen. A degree of resistance against choleragen could be passively transferred by serum to infant rabbits. These results suggest that choleragen offers promise as an effect immunogen against cholera.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
