✦ Synopsis

Conflicting evidence can be found in the literature in regard to the levels of cyanide which may be produced in stored blood. Three cases are described where very high blood cyanide levels were found at post-mortem but where circumstances tended to preclude cyanide poisoning and where no source could be discovered. In one case, the cyanide was shown to be of post-mortem origin. These findings suggest that considerable caution should be exercised in attempting to interpret, in isolation, high cyanide levels in unpreserved blood samples.

## Abstract Oral doses of amygdalin and intraperitoneal (i.p.) doses of potassium cyanide (KCN) in the near‐lethal range were administered to CD2F1 female mice. Blood cyanide levels were then measured as a function of time. The maximum cyanide level after amygdalin administration was reached at abo

## Abstract IL‐6‐specific autoantibodies (aAb‐IL‐6) have been reported in diseased and healthy individuals. We recently established a model for aAb‐IL‐6 in different mouse strains, based on vaccination with immunogenic IL‐6 analogues, in which titers of aAb‐IL‐6 above 1,000 resulted in an __in vivo
