Synopsis
Excerpt from The Immunity Unit for Standardizing Diphtheria Antitoxin (Based on Ehrlich's Normal Serum): Official Standard Prepared Under the Act Approved July 1, 1902
The object of this bulletin is to describe the methods by which the immunity unit for measuring the strength of diphtheria antitoxin is obtained, and the principles involved.
The unit is based on the one established by Ehrlich, and has been made by comparison with the normal serum sent to this laboratory by the Kg]. Pr. Institut fur experimentelle Therapie, Frankfurt a. M., Germany.
On account of the technical difficulties met in testing the strength of diphtheria antitoxin, and the intricate composition of the diphtheria poison, as well as the peculiar chemical relations existing between the toxine and the antitoxin, it has been necessary to enter into the many details of every portion of the process in order that those who use this standard may do so under the same conditions. Otherwise com parable results would not be obtained.
