Abstract
A 2% hemoglobin preparation injected into mice along with Pasteurella haemolytica culture was found to be as good an enhancer of virulence as a 7% swine gastric mucin preparation. The hemoglobin preparation was easier to prepare and was less toxic than mucin for mice when injected intraperitoneally.
