Abstract
KING and Menten (1935) have reported that guinea-pigs having a high vitamin C storage are less sensitive to diphtheria toxin than are those having a low vitamin C storage. This observation may be important in relation to the pathogenesis of diphtheria infection. We, therefore, tried to ascertain the effect of vitamin C on toxin production by C. diphtheria in vitro.
