title: Determination of antigen content and effectiveness of foor-and-mouth disease vaccines.
abstract: The following paragraphs are in reality the conclusion of a communication which was not presented at the symposium owing to Dr Czelleng's absence. Taking the place of his colleague, Dr Sólyom gave a brief account of the complement fixation test in the estimation of immunity against foot-and-mouth disease. The test conditions are improved by using a standardized complement; this method allows to meausre very precisely the amount of antigen used for the production of vaccine.
