Although student vaccinations have not begun, Dr. Postel believes that the same proportion of Radcliffe as of Harvard students will receive the vaccine. Shots will be doled out to Radcliffe undergraduates as soon as the serum comes from Harvard, he said...
...also conceded that the Services had a small supply of vaccine on hand, and that they planned to use an experimental method of injection which would spread the serum to three times as many people as could receive the customary dose...
...Most frequently advanced theory: heat from the priest's hands, or from unaccustomed light and motion, melts a bloodlike substance with a very low melting point (one scientist claimed to have duplicated the effect with a misuse of chocolate powder and milk serum). Partisans of San Gennaro retort that 1) temperature tests refute the heat theory; 2) the liquefaction has sometimes taken place without the container's being touched...
...doctor's degree in bacteriology. After a stint as senior bacteriologist at Massachusetts' state antitoxin laboratory, he went to Cyanamid's Lederle Laboratories in 1934, three years later gave the company a major breakthrough by developing a fast, inexpensive way of growing anti-pneumonia serum in rabbits instead of horses. By the time he was 36, Malcolm was Lederle's research director. Since 1955, he has been boss of all sales and market development for Cyanamid's chain of 40 plants producing a widely diversified line of 6,000 products. ¶ James O. Plinton, World...
What to do about it? Dr. Heath startled his colleagues last year by reporting that he had consistently extracted from the blood serum of schizophrenics a substance, which he has dubbed taraxein, that causes symptoms similar to schizophrenia when injected into normal volunteers. To make sure that taraxein really exists in schizophrenics' blood and is not merely a byproduct of laboratory processing of the serum, Heath took half a pint of blood from patients, removed the cells, and directly injected the serum into volunteers. They promptly developed what looked like mild, temporary, schizophrenic symptoms. With similar blood from normal...
