[Combined (associated) immunization against typhoid, typhus and plague]. / Kompleksnaia (assotsiirovannaia) immunizatsiia protiv briushnogo i sypnogo tifov i chumy.

The article substantiates epidemiological expediency of complex (associated) immunization of servicemen and population against typhoid, typhus and plague in polyetiological zones of these infections, and also in cases of simultaneous proliferation of these diseases. For simultaneous preventive vaccination against these infections a complex immunization scheme was experimentally substantiated and clinically approved. It is based on national commercial vaccines and ensures a simultaneous administration of 2-3 vaccine preparations by hypodermic syringe or jet injection. Typhoid and typhus vaccines are injected under one shoulder-blade, and plague vaccine is injected under another shoulder-blade. This complex vaccine is harmless, moderately reactogenic, develops expressing immunity which have the same protective features as monovaccines alone. This scheme is recommended for use in anti-epidemic practice.

[Indirect hemagglutination inhibition reactions as a method of titrating immune serums. V. Application of the reaction to the quantitative determination of immunoglobulins A, M and G in human blood sera]. / Reaktsiia tormozheniia nepriamoi gemaggliutinatsii kak metod titrovaniia immunnykh syvorotok. Soobshchenie V. Primenenie reaktsii dlia kolichestvennogo opredeleniia immunoglobulinov A, M i G v syvorotkakh krovi liudei

The authors present the results of using the indirect hemagglutination inhibition test (IHIT) for quantitative determination of A, M and G immunoglobulins in the blood sera of humans in comparison with the method of radial immunodiffusion in agar (RID) after Mancini. The results of IHIT were no less precise and reproducible than those of RID. The significance of the correlation coefficient of grades after Spirman constituted greater than 99.9% for both tests. On this basis a conclusion was made that, having a number of advantages over RID, IHIT could be recommended for quantitative titration of immunoglobulins of various classes.
