title: [Tetanus antibodies in conventional gamma globulin preparations].
abstract: Different specimens of one of the most common polyvalent immunoglobulin-preparations in the Federal Republic of Germany contain tetanus-antitoxin with an average titer of 40 I.E.Hml. The injection of 5 ml of this conventional gammaglobulin effects in an adult person a titer of ca. 0,75 I.E. Tetanus-antitoxin/ml serum (minimal protectin level = 0,01 I.E./ml). The prophylactic application of 5 ml of the conventional IgG-preparation (gammaglobulin) in travelers against epidemic hepatitis results in a protection against tetanus, too, at least for 3-4 weeks.
