Extract

Recently, Browning, Cruickshank and McKenzie have described a new method of performing the Wassermann reaction. It depends on the fact that a syphilitic serum in the presence of an emulsion of lecithin plus cholesterin absorbs much more complement than in the presence of an equivalent amount of an emulsion of lecithin alone, whereas a negative serum absorbs equal amounts with both emulsions.
