Excerpt from Contributions From the University Laboratory for Medical Bacteriology: To Celebrate the Inauguration of the State Serum Institute In the Autumn Of 1894, after Roux's publication of the first decisive experiments with Behring's serotherapy applied to diphtheria, the production of antidiphtheric serum was eagerly taken in hand everywhere. In Denmark, too, the first introductory steps were made, at that time, towards the foundation of the Serum Institute, which to-day is an accomplished fact. As the director of the University Laboratory of Medical Bacteriology. I felt it my duty to study more thoroughly the technic of the production of antidiphtheric serum. So, in September 1894, I went to the Pasteur Institute, the only laboratory where for years they had both been working at the manufacture of serum and allowed other people to share the experience they had gained.
