Abstract
Recipient guinea-pigs pretreated with Freund's complete adjuvant alone show depressed 4 hr (Arthus) reactions following passive transfer of antiserum to bovine γ-globulin and human serum albumin. Recipient outbred guinea-pigs and inbred rats also show depressed 24 hr delayed reactions following passive transfer of immune peritoneal exudate cells and serum. This indicates that Freund's complete adjuvant depresses certain inflammatory responses.
