Serological Reactions and Species Specificity of Some Helminths

The comparative serology of Marsupialia, and a classification of marsupials

“…On the other hand, I obtained cross reactions of up to 20% using a comparable nephelometric technique; this disparity between results emphasizes that differences in immunization schedules or the responses of the rabbits may make it difficult to compare results obtained in different laboratories even when using antisera against the same antigens. For this reason it is not permissible to use the data of serology to define categories, although there have been some attempts to do so (Wilhelmi 1940). My classification of the marsupials in several orders is thus based more upon the considerations put forth by Ride than upon the results of serological testing; serology has, however, influenced the content of these orders.…”

Precipitin Testing and Classification

“…However, results of apparent significance for systematics have been reported by Boyden (1926), Boyden and Noble (1933), by Wilhelmi (1940) and others. However, results of apparent significance for systematics have been reported by Boyden (1926), Boyden and Noble (1933), by Wilhelmi (1940) and others.…”

“…Examples of such results may be found in the works of Boyden and Noble (1933), Wilhelmi (1940), and others, using the ring test procedure, and in the reports of Boyden and Gemeroy (1950), Gemeroy (1943), Gemeroy and Boyden (1961), Leone and Wiens (1956), Leone (1949, 1950a andb), Moody (1958), Moody, Cochrane, and Drugg (1949), Moody and Doniger (1956), Stallcup (1954), Wemyss (1953), and others, using the normal titration curve procedure. For the details, the original works should be consulted.…”
