A scientific curiosity, this antique clear glass laboratory vial, preserved with its original cork stopper. The handwritten label reads "Prostate - Immunized Monkey" and a dilution noted "1 / 1,000," typical of experimental protocols and biological preparations from the turn of the 20th century. This type of inscription directly refers to immunological research and animal model testing (monkeys, guinea pigs), testifying to the still-exploratory scientific methods of the era.
