RED CROSS DISTRIBUTES GAMMA
GLOBULIN VALUED AT SI3MM
1,714,996 cc. Valued at $2,615,000 Now Ready As
Serum Against Effects of Paralytic
Poliomyelitis
Gamma globulin Having a commer
cial value of 913,000,000 has been dis> j
tributed to State Health Departments
by the American Red Ones since
1044, the organization Says as the
Office of Defense Mobilisation offi
cially began nationlwide distribution of
the miracle blood derivative.
When the Red Cross Started its dis
tribution of gamma globulin 9 years
ago, it recalled that blood serum was
used only for the prevention of mod
eration of measles. Later it was found
to be effective in the treatment of in
fectious hepatitis and more recently
as a prophylaxis against paralytic
poliomyelitis. The Red Cross pointed
out that all the gamma globulin that
it distributed had been provided to
the public without charge. It was
produced at Red Cross expense from
war surplus blood plasma returned
to Red Cross by the armed forces
following V-J Day.
The Office of Defense Mobilization,
which has responsibility for the dis
tribution of whole blood and its de
rivatives, is also charged with allo
cation of the available gamma globu
lin supply.
AH directors of State Departments
of Health have been notified by Dr.,
W. H. Aufranc, director of the Health
Resources staff of the Office of De
fense Mobilization, that they will re
ceive allotments as needed of gamma*
globulin for measles and hepatitis
treatment in accordance with a form
ula recommended by the National Re
search Council. 'Allocations of the
serum for polio use are still being
worked out.
Last week the Red Cross turned
over to the Office of Defense Mobili
zation 1,714,996 cc. of gamma globu
lin valued at $2,616,000 ready for use
as a serum against the paralytic ef
fects of poliomyelitis. The Red Cross
is now processing and bottling another
2,000,000 cc. of bulk gamma globulin
which it received from the Navy and
will obtain additional quantity to be
processed by July 1 from current col
lections of blood.
Red Cross officials emphasized that
the success of the effort to provide
gamma globulin for prevention of po
lio paralysis depends upon the sup
port of the American people in giv
ing their blood, and also their re-
