| Abstract: | ![]()
By a quantitative inhibition technic chimpanzee serum reacted to almost the same titer as human serum with rabbit anti-human immune serum; gorilla serum reacted in considerably lower titer, while serum from gibbons, orangutans and monkeys gave little or no inhibition. Thus, this test for serum gamma globulin indicates that among non-human primates, chimpanzee is most similar to man. Gorilla is next, while sera of other apes and monkeys show little or no crossreactivity. |
