Use of anaesthesia with ketamine HCl in assessing the emetic activity of staphylococcal enterotoxin B in the rhesus monkey (Macacca mulatta).
Anaesthesia of rhesus monkeys with ketamine HCl which facilitated feeding them with staphylococcal enterotoxin B solutions was shown not to affect the ED50 of this toxin. Adoption of this anaesthetic procedure was found to make feeding studies with enterotoxins easier and safer.
