Abstract
Phosphatidase A of Ammodytes viper venom shows the properties of a good antigen and antihaemolytic antibodies can be detected in corresponding antivenin. When Ammodytes viper venom was neutralized with antivenin the same value for antivenin was obtained irrespective of which property of venom haemolysis or killing power in animals was used for indicating the enndpoint. Haemolysis and toxicity could be considered from the immunological standpoint as two actions of a single substance. A method for the determination of antihaemolytic power of antivenin is described.
