A quantitative assay that counts antibody-producing cells.

The plaques are counted and reported as the number of plaque-forming cells (PFCs). 1, record 1, English, - hemolytic%20plaque%20assay

La technique des plages d'hémolyse consiste à introduire des cellules lymphoïdes et une population dense d'érythrocytes xénogéniques dans un milieu gélifié. Certaines cellules lymphoïdes libèrent des anticorps hémolytiques qui diffusent autour d'elles et entraînent la lyse des hématies de leur voisinage, en formant une plage de lyse (on parle en anglais de «plaque-forming cells» ou «PFC») quand on ajoute du complément. Les plages sont visibles et sont comptées avec une loupe. 1, record 1, French, - technique%20des%20plages%20d%27h%C3%A9molyse
