The Use of Guinea Pigs in Tests of Immunity Against Yellow Fever with Small Quantities of Serum

Wray Lloyd AND A. F. Mahaffy
From the West African Yellow Fever Commission, International Health Division, Rockefeller Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria

A technique for testing small quantities of serum for protective properties against yellow fever by the intracerebral inoculation of serum-virus mixtures into guinea pigs is described. This test requires 0.3 cc. of serum and two animals for each specimen. In our series of tests this technique gave correct results in 95 per cent of the cases.

Received November 1, 1934.
