Abstract
The prooxidant Adriablastin (Adriamycin) is shown to prolong the survival of Chinchilla rabbits exposed to the toxic shock exotoxin produced byStaphylococcus aureus as well as to exert a marked effect on the time course of both spontaneous and opsonized zymosan-stimulated chemiluminescence by whole blood cells of these animals.
