متن کاملStandardization of a Complement Fixation Reaction with Chicken Serum as Complement *
In the course of experiments dealing with the specificity of certain heterologous tumqr transplants it was necessary to compare the reactivity of antisera to guinea-pig, rabbit, human, and mouse tissues with antigens of the homologous and of heterologous species. Preliminary attempts to carry out the titrations by means of the ring precipitin test failed to yield satisfactory results, due chief...
