A consideration to immune doses of staphlococcal enterotoxin B to rabbits

Immune doses of staphylococcal enterotoxin B to rabbits were studied by comparing the efficiency of various immunization schedules. It was experienced that even two subcutaneous injections each with such a small dose as 10 mug of enterotoxin B, the primary one with Freund's complete adjuvant and a booster one without adjuvant, could stimulate a rabbit to develop the antibody to a satisfactorily high titer determined by agar gel diffusion and passive hemagglutination.
