Antibody-hapten interactions in vivo in mice and sheep.

From 5 min to 5 h after an intravenous injection of one of the haptens, elipson-dinitrophenyl-lysine, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), or procaine, mice that were actively immunised against these haptens held more of the hapten in their plasma than did normal mice. Over the same time interval, mice that had been passively immunised with sheep anti-procaine antisera and then treated with procaine held more procaine in their plasma than did mice treated with normal sheep serum. When procaine or DNP was administered orally or intraperitoneally to sheep with circulating antibody to the hapten, the antibody titre was usually reduced 1 h after dosing but returned to the pre-dosing titre by 24 h. Experiments indicated that the reduction in antibody titre was due to in vivo neutralisation of antibody by the hapten.

The role of risk analysis in European harmonisation of security for healthcare information systems.

This paper examines the nature of security in the context of health care and explores the importance of the identification of risk. A brief description is given of the results of the risk analysis reviews conducted as part of the AIM project, SEISMED (Secure Environment for Information Systems in Medicine). The conclusion is that the results of some form of risk analysis are essential for providing relevant input to the management decision-making processes.
