EFFECTS OF ANTISERUM ON ADSORBED PHAGE.
Reiter, Harvard (U.S. Biological Laboratories, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.). Effects of antiserum on adsorbed phage. J. Bacteriol. 86:637-641. 1963.-The penetration of T(3) bacteriophages attached to the host cells could be delayed or entirely prevented by antiserum against T(3) phage. The antiserum-sensitive period of the attached phages increased at lower temperatures. The degree of inhibition increased with antiserum concentration and with early exposure to antiserum. Bacteriophages T(1) and T(4) were not affected by antiserum in this manner; T(7) reacted similarly to T(3).
