title: [Evaluation of antitoxin and antibacterial activity of human preparations of normal immunoglobulin. I. Level of tetanus antitoxin in preparations of IMIG and IVIG].
abstract: The level of anti-tetanus antibodies were measured in 791 lots of IMIG and 330 lots of IVIG of human normal gamma globulin. The antibody levels varied 15-80 IU/ml of IMIG lots and 5-20 IU/ml of IVIG lots. Every lot of human normal gamma globulin (IMIG or IVIG) having high anti-tetanus activity may be an acceptable alternative to specific tetanus immune globulin.
