The nephelometer: an instrument for estimating the number of bacteria in suspensions used for calculating the
opsonic index and for vaccines.
Opsonic activity of anti- flagellar serum against Clostridium chauvoei by mouse polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
pneumonia vaccinated, healthy adult human donors and pooling the harvested plasma as the source for manufacturing a hyperimmune anti-pneumococcal immune globulin containing elevated
opsonic antibodies to a plurality of S.
Nephelometer an instrument for estimating the number of bacteria in suspensions used for calculating the

Reduced Treponema pallidum-specific
opsonic antibody activity in HIV-infected patients with syphilis.
Opsonic function of sialic acid specific lectin in freshwater crab Paratelphusa jacquemontii.
Occurrence of S.aureus as the prime organism may be due to the presence of a number of enzymes and toxins produced by S.aureus which may inhibit the phagocytic and
opsonic Mechanisms.
This vaccine was demonstrated to be able to elicit high titer
opsonic antibody in mice in our previous work, but two questions remain unanswered.
This occurs upon ligation of neutrophil's
opsonic receptors, initiating phagocytosis and ROS generation [59].
Previous studies reported that alginate impaired the responses of CF airway epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages during inflammatory responses [50] and that bacteria encased in alginate were also protected from host defense mechanisms such as macrophage killing [51] and antibody-independent
opsonic killing [52].
It is possible that these antibodies were not
opsonic, failing to induce T.
meningitidis (serogroups A, B, C, W, Y), as well as
opsonic killing of S.
