A micro-agglutination test for the antibodies to Brucella canis produced similar results to those obtained with the standard tube agglutination method in human and canine sera. The micromethod does provide an economical means of screening sera for the presence of antibodies.

The need for a human-derived immune globulin to replace the equine antitoxins currently used in the treatment of botulism is well recognized. A small group of individuals who had received multiple immunizations with pentavalent botulinal toxoid were plasmapheresed for the purpose of collecting a botulism-immune plasma of human origin to be fractionated for the production of immune globulin. Human-derived immune globulin will offer the advantage over equine antitoxins of not inducing reactions to foreign protein and of having a prolonged effective half-life.
