... opsonin . Normal serum kept at about 2 ° C. may preserve its opsonins for several days , but at 37 ° C. they seem to deteriorate rapidly.31 Dean , however , found normal horse serum to contain opsonin even after several years . Immune ...
... opsonin for typhoid bacilli that resists heating above 60 ° C. , and there is an opsonin for anthrax bacilli in the serum of white rats that resists heating to 70 ° C. Dean15 believes that some of the opsonin is unaltered even by ...
Written in an engaging conversational style, the book conveys the broad scope and fascinating appeal of immunology. The book is beautifully illustrated with superb figures as well as many full color plates.
... opsonin ( largely the opsonin in fresh normal serum ) as a com- plement , and thermostabile opsonin ( largely immune opsonin or bacterio- tropin ) as an amboceptor ; it would appear that either alone , but more especially the latter ...
... opsonin may still be present after the serum is heated at 55 ° C. , as has been shown by Dean and others ; and Muir and Martin have shown that this thermostable immune - opsonin ( bacteriotropin of Neufeld ) has all the specific ...

... opsonin . Conservative workers were not disposed to accept the opsonin as a new form of antibody and from the ease of deterioration of the normal opsonin thought that it was identical with complement . Furthermore , it was shown that ...
... opsonin . On the other hand , if opsonin has the amboceptor - complement structure we would expect the complement to be destroyed by heat and that the amboceptor would combine with the bacteria , which when treated with fresh serum ...
