[Immunogenic properties of cholerogen-toxoid and killed corpuscular vaccine in acute experiments on guinea pigs]. 1978

N F Nepogodin

A comparative assessment of the immunogenicity of cholerogen toxoid and of killed corpuscular cholera vaccine was given. Guinea pigs immunized with cholerogen toxoid acquired a greater resistance to the intrapulmonary infection with virulent cholera vibrio culture (immunity index--2.1.10(4)) than those immunized with killed corpuscular vaccine (immunity index--3.5.10(2)). Immunogenicity of cholerogen toxoid could be increased in its combined administration with killed corpuscular vaccine.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014121	Toxoids	Preparations of pathogenic organisms or their derivatives made nontoxic and intended for active immunologic prophylaxis. They include deactivated toxins. Anatoxin toxoids are distinct from anatoxins that are TROPANES found in CYANOBACTERIA.
