Shwartzman reaction in germfree rabbits.
The local Shwartzman reaction occurred in germfree rabbits which had no natural antibody to endotoxin and none or only a very small amount of immunoglobulin G. From the results it was concluded that the presence of natural antibody to endotoxin is not a prerequisite of the production of the local Shwartzman reaction by bacterial endotoxin.
