Oi. Kogotkova et Np. Buravtseva, CHARACTERIZATION OF NONSPECIFIC RESISTANCE IN DIFFERENT SPECIES OF LABORATORY-ANIMALS IMMUNIZED WITH VACCINE STI AGAINST ANTHRAX, Zurnal mikrobiologii, epidemiologii i immunobiologii, (2), 1993, pp. 89-92
A complex comparative study of the characteristics of nonspecific resi
stance in different species of laboratory animals immunized with vacci
ne STI against anthrax has revealed the existence of marked interspeci
fic differences between noninbred white mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and
noninbred white rats in such characteristics as phagocytic activity,
oxygen-dependent function of polymorphonuclear blood leukocytes, serum
beta-lysin and lysozyme.
