Abstract

I N THIS communication the immunologic response of allergic children to injections of antigen is compared with that of nonallergic children. The results of intracutaneous immunization to tetanus by the use of tetanus toxoid and to tetanus and diphtheria by the use of t,he combined toxoids are also here reported.

These are even more marked when we consider the transient nature of passive immunity (l’igs. 1 and 2).
