[Antibody production in the blood of donors immunized with staphylococcal anatoxin]

Blood serum content was studied of specific antistaphylococcal antibodies (staphylolysins) in 576 donors immunized with staphylococcal anatoxin with the purpose of obtaining an antistaphylococcal plasma and antistaphylococcal immunoglobulin to be used in clinical settings. 292 donors had been immunized and examined prior to 1986, 284--after 1986 (before 1994). Comparison of the immune responses in the above periods of time permitted finding out that 13.03% of immunized donors responded to the antigenic stimulus by such paradoxical reaction as disappearance of specific antibodies; the number of persons-active respondents has gotten reduced from 17.12% to 5.98% as has the number of individuals having the baseline level of staphylolysins (1-2 ME/ml). The changes were at their greatest in donors with group A (II) blood.
