Biological activity of an intravenous preparation of human vaccinia immune globulin in mouse models of vaccinia virus infection.

abstract：:Arguably, one of the most common and consequential laboratory tests performed in the world is Mycobacterium tuberculosis susceptibility testing. M. tuberculosis resistance is defined by growth of > or =1% of a bacillary inoculum on the critical concentration of an antibiotic. The critical concentration was chosen base...
