Étude des glycoprotéines du sérum de cobaye soumis à l'empoussiérage pulmonaire et à l'infection mycobactérienne

Abstract Guinea pigs have been submitted to pulmonary aggressions: infection by Mycobacterium kansasii , injected intra-venously,—“dust” inhalation during 18 days, 6 hours per day,—infection followed by dust inhalation,—and dust inhalation followed by infection. The augmentation of blood serum glycoproteins is important only when guinea pigs have been submitted successively to infection and dust inhalation. The modified fractions are essentially the group of perchloro-soluble seromucoids; the same modifications have been detected in pulmonary and renal tissues.
