title: Detection of mouse cells producing antibodies against the azophenylarsonic group by haemolytic plaque assay.
abstract: For detection of mouse cells producing anti-ARS antibody a modified method using ARS-SRBC is described. For optimal results a suitable source of SRBC must be selected. The number of ARS groups per SRBC required for optimal lysis in PFC assay varies, and ARS-SRBC prepared by the method of Ingraham which are suitable for detection of rabbit-PFC give negative results with the mouse system. ARS-SRBC prepared for the PFC assay are unsuitable for the haemagglutination test and vice versa.
