Abstract

1. Intravenous injections of leucocytic pyrogen in doses of 15, 30 and 60 μl./kg caused febrile reactions in male rabbits that were related to age of the animal: rabbits under 2 yr of age developed fevers that were related to dose of pyrogen, while rabbits 2‐3 yr old showed large febrile responses which were not dose‐related.
