| Abstract: | Soluble parapertusis antigen, serologically active, having hemosensitive properties and containing only 2 antigenic components was obtained by the method of ethanol fractionation of microbial extracts. This method is simple and convenient for production purposes. The antigen thus obtained was used for the production of a highly specific erythrocytic diagnostic preparation (formalinized, liquid). When tested in reaction with animal and human sera, the new diagnostic preparation proved to be sufficiently active and species specific. |
