SUICIDE IN SAN FRANCISCO: REPORTED AND UNREPORTED.

Reported suicide in San Francisco was investigated for the period between July 1956, through June 1964. During that time 1664 persons killed themselves, according to the Coroner's records. The method most frequently used was oral ingestion of toxic substances, which significantly deviates from national statistics, shooting being the method most frequently reported. The explanation for this deviation is probably the more valid mortality statistics of San Francisco, and from this it may be inferred that unreported suicide may be largely suicide by ingestion, unrecognized because of lack of postmortem studies. Unreported suicide is further classified into intentioned (masked, suppressed and undiscovered) and subintentioned (oral-dependent and aggressive). Despite the fact that suicide has been a leading cause of death, the public and the medical profession are largely apathetic. An attempt is being made by Suicide Prevention of San Francisco, Inc. to develop a clinical and research facility for the study and treatment of suicidal persons.

ANTIBODY PRODUCTION BY NONIMMUNE SPLEEN CELLS INCUBATED WITH RNA FROM IMMUNIZED MICE.

RNA isolated from the spleens of B(6)AF(1) mice immunized to sheep red blood cells was incubated with the spleen cells of nonimmunized mice. The number of antibody-forming cells detected by the Jerne plaque technique was significantly higher among the cells incubated with the RNA from immune animals than among cells incubated without RNA, or with RNA from nonimmune animals.
