| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to observe aluminium hydroxide distribution in mice given this substance subcutaneously and intraperitoneally in various concentrations (0.03 mg-0.8 mg of Al3+ per dose). Each experimental group consisted of 5-6 mice of which brain, liver and kidney were isolated after 7, 14, 28, and 35 days after injection. Control group was composed of unvaccinated mice. Sera of animals vaccinated subcutaneously with the following doses: 0.2 mg, 0.4 mg and 0.8 mg were also tested. A distinct accumulation of Al3+ in liver after intraperitoneal injection with a tendency of rising after 28 days of observation was seen. The same was observed in kidneys after subcutaneous injection, especially doses of 0.4 mg Al3+ and 0.8 mg Al3+. The aluminium content in sera was high in an early period of observation only, and subsequently its elimination was fast. |
