Gaz., 1927, No. 19)ShermanS.info@eco-vector.com150219282422512511112202111122021Copyright © 1928, Eco-Vector1928<p>The author confirmed by his experiments that constitutional resistance or susceptibility to infectious diseases stands in connection with the organs of internal secretion. In the Tuberculosis Institute it was found that guinea pigs and rabbits have a difference in endocrine formulas, which difference corresponds to the difference in the natural immunity of these animals against different infections. For final proof, an attempt was made to approximate the endocrine formula of a rabbit to that of a guinea pig to see if its natural immunity would change.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
