Study Boosts Stock of GG Against Polio
Gamma globulin shows slightly stronger protection against polio in a new Journal of the American Medical Association report. Researchers reanalyzed 1951-52 field data with tests not available then, aided by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. They caution that mass inoculations in 1953 under experimental conditions were not decisive. They conclude that gamma globulin use after exposure among family or known contacts is supported by suggestive but inconclusive data.
