| Abstract: | We report that the intraperitoneal injection of Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin into mice induces ascites. This phenomenon was monitored by measuring fluid volume and analyzing hematologic data. The mouse toxicity test provides a simple and useful model for examining C. perfringens alpha-toxin-induced vascular permeability. |
