title: Experimental allergic neuritis-like disease in rabbits after injection with influenza vaccines mixed with gangliosides and adjuvants.
abstract: An experimental allergic neuritis-like disease was induced in rabbits 3 to 8 weeks after injection with large doses of influenza vaccines mixed with gangliosides, cholesterol, and Freund complete adjuvant. The inclusion of gangliosides was essential to induce the experimental allergic neuritis-like disease. In trials with six different lots of vaccine, both swine influenza and non-swine influenza vaccines produced by four different manufacturers induced experimental allergic neuritis-like disease in 26 of 43 inoculated rabbits.
