DEMONSTRATION OF RINSERPEST COMPLEMENT FIXATION ANTIBODY IN BOVINE SERUM : II. Some Further Experiments

Indirect Complement Fixation in Foot and Mouth Disease. II. Screening of Cattle Serums

Complement fixation antibody test for human nocardiosis.

Complement-fixing antibody was detected in 13 of 16 patients with histological and/or culture evidence of infection with Nocardia species. The antigen used was a filtrate of soluble substances secreted into liquid growth medium by cultures of N. asteroides. Apparent false positives reactions were found in three of three patients with leprosy and two of five patients with tuberculosis--results ...

The relationship between the microtitration serum agglutination and complement fixation tests in bovine brucellosis serology.

The relationship between antibody titres in the microtitration serum agglutination test and the complement fixation test in bovine brucellosis is described. For low and high MSAT values there is good agreement between the 2 tests. This is not the case for MSAT values between 54 and 338 IU/ml. For practical reasons, results falling into this category cannot all be repeated. Repetitions are so st...

Serum Antibody to Bovine Serum Albumin I

To evaluate the re lat ionship be tween tumor burden and c i rculat ing immune complexes (IC) in ch i ldren with neurob lastoma (NBL), we studied sera col lected at intervals from pat ients with d isseminated (Stage III or IV) NBL. Sera from 10 of 12 pat ients conta ined IC by the Raji cell assay at some time dur ing the first 9 to 11 months of the study. H igher IC levels were observed in sera...

Some Further Experiments on Bimolecular Lipid Membranes

In the earlier experiments it was established that a bilayer of pure egg phosphatidyl choline containing less than 50 per cent by volume of n-decane had a capacitance of 0.38 /ff/cm2 , this value being independent of applied voltage up to at least 50 my and independent of frequency between 200 and 5 X 106 cs. It was also unaffected by the nature and concentration of the surrounding electrolyte ...
