A study of sensitivity of various laboratory animals (guinea pigs, albino mice, Cricetus auratus W., albino rats and chick embryos) demonstrated that they all, excluding the latter, reacted by specific edema in response to the administration of the exotoxin produced by the vaccine strain CTI-1. A quantitative characteristics of the activity of the preparation for albino mice was presented and a method permitting to determine the activity of the anthrax exotoxin in intradermal test on guinea pigs with a greater precision than the accepted one was elaborated.
A study was made of the biological properties of the spore culture of anthrax vaccine strain STI-1 lyophilized in 1944 and kept for 30 years without any passages. This dry culture contained not less than 29% of live spores; the culture growth in the nutrient broth and on the agar medium was typical for the strain. Immunogenicity tested in experiments on guinea pigs and rabbits was not reduced and corresponded to that of the reference STI-1 vaccine.
