EFFECT OF pH ON THE HAEMOLYSIS OF RABBIT ERYTHROCYTES BY STAPHYLOCOCCUS ALPHATOXIN

Abstract

The effect of toxin concentration on the kinetics of haemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes has been studied at pH values differing by about 0·5 pH units over the range 5·5 to 8·5 for both crude and partially purified toxin at concentrations of 2·5, 5·0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 MHD per ml and at 80 and 120 MHD per ml for the partially purified toxin.
