New Hog Cholera Serum Is Found
Washington announces a new method to prepare anti hog cholera serum enabling economical production of a clear sterile product. Researchers Dorset and Henley add bean extract and salt to defibrinated serum, yielding 70 to 74 percent clear serum that withstands 60 C heat for 30 minutes to kill foot and mouth disease germs. The process preserves antibodies while leaving red cells useless. The method is not yet commercialized and is free for use in the United States.
