Herbert Durham Reaction
The Gruber–Durham reaction refers to the bacterial agglutination reaction discovered independently by Max von Gruber and Herbert Edward Durham in 1896.
- Max von Gruber (Austrian bacteriologist) and Herbert Edward Durham (British bacteriologist) demonstrated that the serum of an animal immunized against a particular bacterium could cause visible clumping (agglutination) of that bacterium.
- Their work provided one of the earliest demonstrations of a specific antigen–antibody reaction.
- The reaction became an important basis for serological diagnosis and bacterial identification.
