EFFECTS OF ANTISERUM ON ADSORBED PHAGE¹

^a U.S. Army Biological Laboratories, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland

ABSTRACT

REITER, HARVARD (U.S. Biological Laboratories, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.). Effects of antiserum on adsorbed phage. J. Bacteriol. 86:637–641. 1963.—The penetration of T₃ bacteriophages attached to the host cells could be delayed or entirely prevented by antiserum against T₃ phage. The antiserum-sensitive period of the attached phages increased at lower temperatures. The degree of inhibition increased with antiserum concentration and with early exposure to antiserum. Bacteriophages T₁ and T₄ were not affected by antiserum in this manner; T₇ reacted similarly to T₃.
