Abstract
HUMAN serum is generally used as an antigen for the preparation of anti-human serum in precipitin tests. The use of human plasma does not seem to have had sufficient trials for this purpose. Johnson and Rawson1 concluded that plasma of some wild animals was unsatisfactory in the preparation of precipitin serum. We have not found any reference to human plasma being used as antigen in the literature available to us.
