| heterologous antiserum | An antiserum that reacts with (e.g., agglutinates) certain microorganisms or other complexes of antigens, even though the antiserum was produced by means of stimulation with a different microorganism or antigenic material. See: homologous antiserum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homologous antiserum | An antiserum in which there is complete correspondence between the content of antibodies and the antigenic material used for producing the antiserum. (05 Mar 2000) |
