Description
Leukocytes, harvested from EIA infected horse plasma, were
disrupted and partially purified by differential centrifugation.
This material was assayed for its capacity to inhibit migration
of leukocytes from infected horses. After 6 X 10^6 r of gamma
radiation the material was reassayed and 85% of the initial
activity remained, indicating that little antigenic destruction
had occurred. This material was coupled to rabbit gamma
globulin and used for horse inoculation. The above material,
uncoupled, and a partially purified irradiated normal horse
protein material were used as controls. Responses to
immunizations and challenges were monitored. Uncoupled irradiated
material produced the disease. Coupled irradiated
material did not produce the disease and the immunized horse
was resistant to challenge with 1 ml of a 10^-3
dilution of infectious serum for 30 days and, then, to 1 ml of undiluted
infectious serum for 30 more days .
