Popis: SummaryStaphylococcal α toxin produced cytopathogenic effect in human embryonic kidney tissue cultures. This effect could be neutralized with whole serum and by the IgG but not by the IgA and IgM fractions of human and other primate sera, whereas these immune globulins interacted with antigen to form a precipitate. The neutralizing potency of the sera was more pronounced in persons with chronic staphylococcal skin lesions.
