Abstract

The effect of convalescent burn serum on the toxic properties, level of activity of proteolytic enzymes, and morphological changes after burns was studied in experiments on rats. After burns the serum and organ extracts were found to acquire toxic properties, proteolytic enzyme activity was increased, and marked morphological changes developed. Injection of convalescent burn serum promoted detoxication, reduced the proteolytic enzyme activity distinctly, and reduced the severity of the morphological changes. Serum of healthy animals gave a much smaller therapeutic effect.
