Abstract
A haemolytic plaque-forming cell assay is described in which the erythrocyte indicator system is a pre-formed monolayer firmly bound to a surface containing charged groups. Certain experimental procedures for which previously available methods were ill-suited are easily performed by this technique. Applications of the assay are discussed.
