The complement-fixation technique described in this paper was designed as a simple and rapid micro-method. It is derived from the method published by Fulton & Dumbell (1949), but a number of modifications have rendered it less laborious to perform and more flexible in application. Using rabbit, human and guinea-pig antisera, this technique has been successfully applied to the serological examination of the viruses of influenza, vaccinia and Newcastle disease, and experience with other materials, such as gonococcal antigen and extracts of chorio-allantoic membrane and mouse lung, suggests that it is of general application.
