(20) This was observed in the control system in which at 1 C'H50 hemolysis inhibition increase from 50 to 90% was found after 2 hr at 37 degrees C, after 8 hr at 20 degrees C and after 18 hr at 4 degrees C. Simultaneously, a double increase of the standard serum titre was obtained at 4 and 20 degrees C as compared with that at 37 degrees C. At stable concentration of the antigen and complement the effect of C' fixation was the strongest at 4 degrees C, slightly weaker at 20 degrees C and the weakest at 37 degrees C. The above dependence resulted from a different reaction distribution in the chessboard system at each temperature.
