Abstract: | Summary Serum opsonic activity against zymosan was found to be decreased more markedly in highly diluted O type serum than in the other 3 types, among which no difference was noted. Heat-killed bacteria were equally well opsonized with any type of serum. This peculiar activity of O type serum against zymosan was not affected by the removal of isohemagglutinins. No inhibitory activity was demonstrable in O type serum.This work was supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid from the Japan Medical Research Foundation and Grants-in-Aid (Project Nos. 157253 and 544050) from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan. |
