Preparation of the Materials, Sampled in Combined Foci of Plague and Arbovirus Infections, for Immunologic Assaying. Communication 2

Abstract

The results of the second phase of the experiments are presented in the paper, where β-propiolactone was used to decontaminate materials from Yersinia pestis. Both slurries and suspensions of the internal organs were decontaminated of Y. pestis 231 with 0.1 % concentrations of the preparation after 18 to 24 hours' exposition in the refrigerator, as well as at 37 °C for as long as 6 hours or more. Optimal schedules for immunologic examination are offered to prepare the samples taken in the combined foci of plague and arboviral infections.
