Administration of rabbit and mouse antirenal and antihepatic sera, containing antibodies to the vaccines of streptococcus group C and Candida albicans, to CBA mice 24 hours before infection intensified the severity of the course of the streptococcus and candida infection. On the contrary, antibodies isolated from rabbit and mouse antirenal and antiskin sera cross-reacting with the microbial antigens attenuated the course of an infectious process caused by the corresponding causative agent, when these antibodies were administered to the animals.
