The in vitro assessment of anti-human lymphocyte globulin.
A simple reproducible in vitro test of anti-human lymphocyte globulin activity is discribed. The method is a "microtitre" complement-fixation test using human platelets as a source of antigen, guinea-pig complement and an amboceptor of sheep red blood cells sensitized by rabbit anti-sheep haemolysin.
