Antiserum is the fluid part of clotted blood from an immunized person. It contains various antibodies that target a specific antigen but differ in structure, binding site (epitope), and potential cross-reactions.

Este componente contiene una mezcla de diferentes anticuerpos que se unen al antígeno, pero que cada uno tiene una estructura diferente, su propio epítopo en el antígeno y su propio conjunto de reacciones cruzadas se llama antisuerum.
