    • 1912, Philip Bardwell Hadley, Studies on Fowl Cholera, page 150:
      It has frequently been shown, especially in connection with pneumococcus infections (which, in the general absence of phagocytosis that characterizes them, much resemble the hæmorrhagic septicæmias), that, when the organisms possess a moderate or slight virulence, a high degree of opsonic immunity for a the homolgous* culture could be obtained.†
