Pardoxical cytotoxic effect of antisera used in diagnostic virology. Brief report
Abstract:
Rabbit antisera prepared against adenovirus-infected or uninfected HEK cells showed a high degree of cytotoxicity towards HeLa and other human cell cultures, while antisera prepared against infected HeLa cells did not. The toxic activity was independent of complement; it could be removed by adsorption to HEK monolayers.
