THE INFLUENCE OF SEXUAL MATURITY UPON THE REACTIVITY OF RABBITS TO HORSE SERUM
Many observations indicate that immunological reactivity is conditioned to some extent by the degree of sexual maturity. In certain tropical and arctic communities where scarlet fever and diphtheria occur very rarely, negativity to both Schick and Dick tests has been found to develop at puberty. Cer...
