Summary
It was established in experiments on white rats that the time of the maximal immunity against tetanus depends on the method of introduction of antitetanus serum and tetanus toxin. The resistance of the animals to the toxin depends directly on the content of the antitoxin in their blood. The mechanism of action of tetanus antitoxin and conditions of appearance of the passive immunity are discussed.
