IMMUNITY IN INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION

Abstract

1. There is no increased immunity or tolerance to intestinal obstruction after recovery from previous obstruction. 2. Dogs recovered from intestinal obstruction are not more resistant to injections of closed loop fluid than normal dogs. 3. Dogs injected with closed loop fluid are not more resistant to intestinal obstruction than normal dogs. 4. In dogs the normal variation in resistance both to intestinal obstruction and to the injection of closed loop fluid is large.
