Inhibition of direct haemolytic plaques by antistaphylococcal sera.
An in vitro study was carried out to determine the IgM response to staphylococcal antigens (Staphylococcus aureus, serotype 3, ATCC 12600), at different stages of the growth curve. This was in order to observe the number of inhibited haemolytic plaques when immunosera obtained from blood-letting in rabbits previously immunized with antigenic components were used.
