[ noun ] (biology,anatomy,immunology) blood serum containing antibodies against specific antigens; provides immunity to a disease
Used in print (M. Yokoyama et al., "Chemical and serological...)Those antisera shown by immunoelectrophoresis to be of the `` broad spectrum '' type were selected for used in the present study . (A. N. Nagaraj and L. M. Black, "Localization of...)In attempting to improve specificity of staining , the fluorescein labeled antisera used in both direct and indirect methods were treated in one of several ways : ( 1 ) They were passed_through Dowex-2-chloride twice and treated with acetone insoluble powders ( Coons , 1958 ) prepared from mouse liver or from healthy sweet_clover stems or crown_gall tissue produced by Agrobacterium_tumefaciens ( E._F._Smith + Townsend ) Conn , on sweet_clover stems . As controls , other sections were similarly treated with * * f or conjugated antiserum to the New_York strain of potato_yellow-dwarf_virus ( Wolcyrz and Black , 1956 ) . The specificity of staining in WTV tumors with * * f and * * f but not with NS and * * f or with antiserum to potato_yellow-dwarf_virus and * * f , and the absence of such staining in crown_gall tumor tissue from sweet-clover , indicate that an antigen of WTV was being stained . Sections of tumors incited by WTV were not similarly stained with conjugated normal serum or conjugated antiserum to potato_yellow-dwarf_virus . Related terms |
