| antirabies serum | A sterile solution containing antibodies obtained from the blood serum or plasma of a healthy animal, or human, that has been immunised against rabies by means of vaccine; administered immediately after severe or multiple bites by domestic animals suspected to be rabid and in all wild animal bites, to be followed by a regimen of rabies vaccine.

| antireticular cytotoxic serum | An antiserum specific for cells of the reticuloendothelial system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antitoxic serum | An antitoxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriolytic serum | An antiserum (bacteriolysin) that sensitises a bacterium to the lytic action of complement. (05 Mar 2000) |

| vaccineation, serum hepatitis | See Vaccination, hepatitis b. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radioiodinated serum albumin | A sterile, buffered, isotonic solution prepared to contain not less than 10 mg of radioiodinated normal human serum albumin per ml, and adjusted to provide not more than 1 mCi of radioactivity per ml; used as a diagnostic aid in determining blood volume and cardiac output. Synonym: radioiodinated serum albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein | A plasma protein, alpha-fetoprotein (afp) is normally produced by the foetus. The level of afp in the blood serum of pregnant women provides a screening test for open neural tube defects (anencephaly and spina bifida) and for down syndrome (and other chromosome abnormalities). The maternal serum afp (msafp) tends to be unusally high with open neural tube defects and unsually low with down syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| measles convalescent serum | Obtained from the blood of a healthy person who has survived an attack of measles. Synonym: measles convalescent serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscle serum | The fluid remaining after the coagulation of muscle plasma and the separation of myosin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| convalescent serum | Serum from patients recently recovered from a disease; useful in preventing or modifying by passive immunization the same disease in exposed susceptible individuals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Coombs' serum | Serum from a rabbit or other animal previously immunised with purified human globulin to prepare antibodies directed against IgG and complement; used in the direct and indirect Coombs' tests. Synonym: Coombs' serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyvalent serum | An antiserum obtained by inoculating an animal with several different antigens or species or strains of bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pooled serum | The mixed serum from a number of individuals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| culture media, serum-free | Culture media free of serum proteins but including the minimal essential substances required for cell growth. This type of medium avoids the presence of extraneous substances that may affect cell proliferation or unwanted activation of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
