Abstract
Summary
A hemolytic system is described, which involves the lysis of virus-anti-virus sensitized chicken erythrocytes by C and apparently depends upon specific interaction of virus and antivirus. Hemolytic curves resemble the usual erythrocyte-hemolysin hemolytic curves except that the slopes of the curves in the former increase upon dilution of antivirus. Activity of CAF virus in such a system apparently follows that of the hemagglutinating particle. Inactivation of the virus at 56°C for 30 minutes, which markedly inhibited elution at 37°C, had no appreciable effect upon such hemolysis by C' in terms of the change in slopes. Changes in 1/n values were also not appreciably altered by previous adsorption of antivirus with a sedimentable component from pooled normal CAF.
