FIG. 1
The opsonic activity of preimmune (open symbols) and hyperimmune (closed symbols) rabbit sera raised against the surface-associated protein fraction of S. pneumoniae by using a pneumococcal clinical isolate grown to stationary phase (triangles) or to log phase (circles) on three consecutive days. In these experiments non-heat-inactivated bacteria were used.
