[Bupivacaine and the humoral component of the immunlogical secondary response (author's transl)]

Using the Jerne-Plaque-Technique, as modified by Cunningham, the influence of the local anaesthetic bupivacaine (over-all dose 200 mg/kg weight) on the immunological secondary response of the mice was tested. Plasma cells producing IgM as well as those producing IgG could not be shown to be significantly susceptible to suppression by bupivacaine.
