serum

If he contracts the disease, there will be no ‘secret serum’ waiting for him.

A Washington Post blog asks: “Why do two white Americans get the Ebola serum while hundreds of Africans die?”

The New Republic demands: “Why did two U.S. missionaries get an Ebola serum while Africans are left to die?”

Never mind that there seem to have been no more than eight doses of the serum in existence.

The serum failed to neutralize the virus in subsequent tests and seemed to offer little protection in animal experiments.

It is thinner than that of chronic bronchitis, and upon standing separates into three layers of pus, mucus, and frothy serum.

It is especially useful with cultures upon serum media, but is applicable also to the sputum.

The clear, straw-colored fluid which is left after separation of the coagulum is called blood-serum.

One drop of the serum is then added to nine drops of normal salt solution, making a dilution of 1:10.

In serum therapy antitoxins are artificially excited into being in the blood of beasts.
