Abstract
Summary
An improved method for for-malinization of erythrocytes from different species of animals is described. Reproducible preparations, relatively free from crenation and non-specific agglutinability, are satisfactory for various agglutination tests by the pattern method, and may be stored for one year or longer at 4°C without loss of capacity to react in these tests. The principles applied to attain satisfactory formalinized cells are discussed.
The author wishes to thank Roland Mills for technical assistance, and Dr. C. W. Hiatt for the electron micrographs.
