Show Monday, March 28, 1977, THE HERALD, Provo, Pasteur Overcomes Opposition Louis Pasteur's revolutionary treatment of rabies leads to skepticism from the scientific community and dissension within his own staff, raising ethical questions which threaten to set back the science of immunology by 80 years in "Certain Death," the fourth episode of "Microbes and Men," the special dramas about the 19th series of six hour-lon- g century medical pioneers who made modern medicine possible, Friday at 9 p.m. on Channel 11. Louis Pasteur (Arthur Lowe) began his work on rabies at 63 years of age. His staff member, Eiuile Roux (Charles Kay), was independent and worked on his own projects, one of which was discovered by Pasteur. When Pasteur adapted some of Roux's procedures to suit his own theories, Roux walked out on him. Pasteur eventually isolated a crude rabies vaccine which he tested on animals. He considered being the first human guinea pig until a distraught mother, Mademoiselle Meister (Delia Pa ton) brought her son Joseph (Clive Florentine) to him, covered with bites from a rabid dog. Angry that she assumed he could cure the boy, after much deliberation and consultation Pasteur decided nevertheless to inoculate, arguing that the boy would most certainly die anyway without the treatment. When Emile Roux learned of the experiment, he was shocked with Pasteur's decision, arguing that no one knew how the vaccine worked, or why. He believed Pasteur's procedure was premature and unscientific, and that it would undermine four years' work. Fellow staff member Adrien Loir (Keith Drinkel) urged Roux to return to assist with the inoculations, to no avail. Pasteur gave Joseph Meister a series of 13 day period, each injection injections over a 10 containing a more virulent strain of the rabies vaccine. The treatment was ultimately successful and Pasteur addressed the Academy of Medicine where his experiment was favorably received. Emile Roux was still skeptical, arguing that there was no clear theory of immunity, though ironically, a major step toward that theory already existed. Elie Metchnikoff (Jacob Witkin), a Russian zoologist recuperating in Sicily after his second suicide attempt, discovered earlier that insertion of a rose bush thorn into a transparent starfish larva caused scavenging cells to completely surround the thorn. aw FRIDAY, APRIL 411- - Previn It The Pittsburgh 3.00 KuikI lor Youth 1, 1977 - Fnday Movie Nashville ' Week in Review Payne Concert 5 1:30 1:M) l.ihds.

Emile Roux testified to the academy of Medicine of his doubts about the inoculation, but accused Peter of a deplorable campaign to smear Pasteur. Roux's abrupt and unexpected support of Pasteur virtually ended the opposition. The Pasteur Institute was created in 1888, and Pasteur invited Metchnikoff to join it. For the next seven years until his death in 1895, Pasteur did no more original work. Roux eventually took over the Institute, but his brilliant diphtheria work lost its pace to Emil Behring in Berlin. France's stunning initiatives in medical science slipped slowly away to Germany.

He had seen them grow more accustomed through vaccination to fight against microbes they had previously ignored. Though Metchnikoff's results were published in 1884, their immediate significance was not grasped. Without a theoretical backbone, Pasteur's vaccination program remained as uncertain as ever, despite the rush of hundreds of victims to his newly opened rabies clinic. Spurred by the death of a child who received treatment too late after her infection, many doctors led by Professor Michel Peter (Aubrey Richards) of the University of Paris rallied against Pasteur and his clinic. Professor Peter argued that Pasteur's vaccine was killing the patients and not the disease. Pasteur suffered another stroke, and Roux, continuing his own work on diptheria, took charge of the clinic despite his own skepticism about the rabies treatment. Loir soon brought rumors of another child's death. Though doctors officially ruled the death was caused by kidney failure, the parents suspected the rpbies treatment. A later autopsy revealed that the boy suffered brief paralysis the kind found in rabbits used to make the rabies vaccine. Because any doubts about the vaccine's safety would be extremely damaging, tests were made of the boy's brain for rabies. Brain tissue was prepared for injection into a rabbit and, two days later, the rabbit was rabid and paralyzed. Monsieur Brouardel (Bill Gavin), author of the official report of the boy's death by kidney failure, independently concluded that the boy contracted rabies. Believing, however, that admitting to death by rabies would set back the science of immunology by eighty years, he let his initial report "ir' Beatty Melts Into Role Utah-T- GOODWILL TRAVEL 11 EAST RADIO & TV 798 S.
