Abstract

FOR a number of years our laboratories have been conducting investigations on natural cellular substances, some of which are stimulatory and some inhibitory to growth of tissues and microorganisms1,2,3,4. In connexion with the work on bacteria, we recently reported a substance isolated from both human and ox spleens which, in vitro, was germicidal in concentration as low as 1 part in 2,000 for Streptococcus hœmolyticus5. The present investigations, conducted on Staphylococcus aureus, were undertaken as an extension of this work with spleen extract and also include observations on various other ox tissue extracts, primarily brain, heart and kidney.
