Abstract
Summary
Squirrel monkeys developed fever in response to relatively small intravenous and intracerebral doses of highly purified human leukocytic pyrogen (LP). The findings indicate that this species is an appropriate new model for research on human endogenous pyrogen. Cross-reactions of various species to LP suggest a similarity in the molecular structure of all leukocytic pyrogens.
