No quantitative data from this animal study; leaves open any role for gamma globulin in encephalitis.
Attempts have been made by a number of investigators to find efficacious treatments against virus diseases, but no method satisfactory for therapeutic purpose has yet been established, excepting a few special infections. The serum therapy has been considered relatively promising among the various means so far tried (Kawakita, 1943 ; van Rooyen & Rhoyes, 1948 ; Burnet, 1955). Kawakita (1948) observed that some of the mice infected with Japanese B encephalitis virus were protected from the death by the specific antiviral antiserum administered after the virus inoculation. Clinical observation claiming a curative effect of human gamma globulin against the encephalitis of man has also been reported recently (Mizuno et al., 1958). In the present paper, experiments are described in which a human gamma globulin preparation was examined for its effect upon encephalitis viruses.
