Abstract
The WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization requested the Central Veterinary Laboratory, Weybridge, England, to arrange a collaborative assay of material they had prepared to determine its suitability to serve as an international reference preparation of anti-Mycoplasma gallisepticum serum.
