Complement Interference Is Not the Same as a Prozone Phenomenon

Rh ANTIBODIES AND THE PROZONE PHENOMENON BY

In 1942 Taylor, Race, Prior, and Ikin reported an anti-Rh serum which failed to agglutinate Rhpositive cells in saline suspension except when diluted. They thought that this prozone was due to antigen and antibody not being present in optimal proportions, and that the mechanism was similar to that of the zones that occur in precipitation reactions. Wiener (1944) described incomplete Rh antibodi...

Statistical Perpectives Not different is not the same as the same: how can we tell?

CALVIN COOLIDGE was a taciturn president of the United States, nicknamed “Silent Cal”. When told that he had died, the acerbic writer Dorothy Parker remarked, “How could they tell?” Telling if something has not happened is a perennial problem in science, particularly so in laboratory experiments. Why should this be? In the case of Cal Coolidge, they probably could tell. But in science, random e...
