A FURTHER STUDY OF THE CROSS REACTION BETWEEN THE SPECIFIC POLYSACCHARIDES OF TYPES III AND VIII PNEUMOCOCCI IN HORSE ANTISERA.

摘要: 1. The cross reaction of the specific polysaccharide Type VIII pneumococcus with III antipneumococcus horse serum has been studied quantitatively and found similar to S III-anti-S reaction. 2. Contrasted general similarity two-segment curves were distinct qualitative quantitative differences in course character reciprocal reactions respect each segment. 3. These could be interpreted terms known chemical between polysaccharides two types. A minimum molecular weight 62,000 was calculated for 140,000 VIII. 4. It also possible fractionate antibody into portions characteristic segment curve. At least three different kinds anticarbohydrates identified.
