The injection of large doses of pneumococcus polysaccharides into adult mice fails to stimulate antibody formation and prevents subsequent small doses from stimulating antibody formation. This inhibition—termed immune paralysis (Felton 1949; Felton, Cameron & Prather 1941; Felton, Kauffmann, Prescott & Ottinger 1955) persists for at least 15 to 18 months. It is not possible to produce a similar effect with protein antigens. Dixon & Maurer (1953, I955 a,b ) injected very large quantities of bovine serum albumin into adult rabbits, 18 g/kg rabbit over a period of 6 weeks. Within 6 weeks of these injections four of the five animals produced antibody in response to injections of bovine albumin. It is not surprising that a long time elapsed before antibody could be detected, since during the persistence of antigen in the body, all antibody released would have combined with that vast excess of antigen.

In Reply.— The Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics recently recommended that the introduction of whole cow's milk into an infant's diet should be delayed until 1 year of age.1 The relationship between insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and bovine albumin is well established in rat and mouse models of IDDM. However, the relationship between the ingestion of dairy products and diabetes in humans is still at a very preliminary stage. The recent report of 146 Finnish children with antibodies to a fraction of bovine albumin certainly will stimulate further investigation but, as MacLaren and Atkinson point out, this single observation does not prove that cow milk protein is either the cause or promotor of diabetes mellitus in humans.

Abstract We examined the stability of human lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) isoenzyme 5--purified to a specific activity of about 400 kU/g--when lyophilized in a buffered, stabilized matrix of bovine albumin. This isoenzyme was prepared with a final activity of about 500 U/L and stored at -20, 4, 20, 37, and 56 degrees C for as long as six months. This isoenzyme decayed with approximate first-order kinetics, with an estimated half-life at -20 degrees C of about 475 years. Stability of reconstituted samples stored at 20 or 4 degrees C was poor, suggesting that the reconstituted material should be used without delay; material stored at -20 degrees C showed excellent stability for 15 days. We propose that such preparations might be further investigated as standards for use in electrophoresis of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes.
