Saline controls, antiserum controls, and antigen controls were maintained with each test to determine the turbidities inherent in these solutions.
Furthermore, the magnitudes of the reactions between the antiserum and the heterologous antigens vary according to the degrees of similarity of these antigens to the homologous one.
Injection schedules used in the production of each antiserum are listed in Table 1.
Since the amount of any one antiserumis limited, there is, of necessity, a limit as to the number of birds used in a series of serological tests.
In every series of tests the amount of antiserum was held constant and the amount of antigen was varied.
If the antiserum contained sufficient amounts of antibodies to conduct the projected tests, the rabbit was completely exsanguinated by cardiac puncture, by using an 18-gauge needle and a 50 ml.

They found that by a new method devised by them "it is possible to indicate in an avian egg-white antiserum the presence of a general avian antisubstance (precipitin) together with the specific antisubstance.
When a portion of an antiserum is added to an emulsion of the corresponding organism, the organisms, if they are motile, cease to move, and in any case become gathered together into clumps.
The antiserum produced in the case of the red corpuscles may sometimes, if injected into the first animal, whose red corpuscles were used, cause extensive destruction of its red corpuscles, with haemoglobinuria, and sometimes a fatal result.
In that case I could give you a shot of antiserum against sperm," George said.
After the ceremony I gave her a shot of the specific antiserum as soon as I could get her alone.
Antivenin--Antiserum is the keystone to the therapy of snakebite.
It must be remembered that cooling during the administration of the antivenin radically reduces the access of the antiserum to the bite area.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "antiserum" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: antibody; antidote; antigen; antitoxin; serum
