Transient Presence of Complement-Fixing Antibodies against Murine Typhus Fever in the Sera of Offspring of Immune Rats1

C. Brooke Worth

Sera of young roof rats and cotton rats born of mothers with high complement-fixing titers for murine typhus fever displayed low grade and diminishing titers of these antibodies for about two months. The presence of transient complement-fixing antibodies in offspring of rats immune to murine typhus might introduce a source of error in complement fixation surveys of this disease in rat populations.
