title: A chromium release assay for the assessment of spontaneous and immune hemolysis of heterologous erythrocytes by sera of rainbow trout.
abstract: This report describes the development of a microtiter system for measuring spontaneous hemolytic activity and immune hemolysins in rainbow trout serum. The chromium release assay, utilizing complement-mediated lysis of heterologous erythrocytes allows rapid, efficient quantitation of hemolytic activity in small serum samples from numerous fish.
