Abstract
Summary: With antisera produced against the native sera of the blue crab Callinectis sapidus and the domestic cow Bos taurus, the influence of formalin (0.2 to 10%) on the serological activity was studied. Alteration of the serological characteristics of the antigens by formalin was a function of its concentration in the systems.Keywords
