(2) The reaction is not a strong one. (3) The reaction is not so constantly positive in gonorrhoea

This preparation gives a precipitation reaction with high dilution of the normal blood serum of a number of species. The precipitation reaction presen...

The complement-fixation reaction with gonococcal antigen (gonococcal complement-fixation test: GCFI) is based on the same serological principle, and has been known for about as long, as the Wassermann reaction. Up to the 1940's the GCFT was widely employed, but as improvements in cultivation techniques for gonococci were developed, interest in the complement-fixation reaction diminished. At pre...
