Abstract:
A definitely diminished capacity to remove tetanus toxin from solution in vitro was demonstrated for the brain tissue of the very young rabbit as compared with the adult animal. Only a suggestive difference was found to exist between young and old guinea pigs in the ability of the brain tissue to absorb tetanus toxin. Newly-born rabbits were not found to possess a higher resistance to lethal doses of tetanus toxin than four- to six-week-old rabbits. The significance of the indifference of the young rabbit brain tissue to tetanus toxin is discussed, and possible explanations for the dissimilarity in behavior manifested by the young rabbit as contrasted with the young guinea pig are offered.
