An examination was made of the relations between antigen, antibody and fixation of complement with foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). It was found that complement fixation in this system follows the same principles as models developed in other antigen/antibody systems. The assumption that there is a relation of direct proportionality between the amount of complement fixed and the amount of antiserum reacting with constant antigen was found to be incorrect. An alternative method was proposed for the quantitative differentiation of FMDV strains by comparing the titres of an antiserum when reacting with optimum amounts of homologous or heterologous antigens.
对口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)的抗原、抗体及补体结合之间的关系进行了研究。结果发现,该系统中的补体结合遵循与其他抗原/抗体系统中建立的模型相同的原理。发现补体结合量与恒定抗原反应的抗血清量之间存在正比关系这一假设是不正确的。提出了一种通过比较抗血清与最佳量的同源或异源抗原反应时的效价来定量区分FMDV毒株的替代方法。
