Studies on the inactivation of phage by the properdin system. II. Quantitative assay of phage-neutralizing activity.

Résumé fourni par la source

Details are given of a method for measuring the neutralizing activity of human serum using bacteriophage as an indicator. The technique measures activity in terms of the 50% neutralizing unit and yields precise and reproducible results. Evidence is presented which suggests that the phage-neutralizing activity might be a reflection of properdin levels.
