Antigenic properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa anatoxin and the protective action of antitoxic anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa serum

The antigenic properties of P. aeruginosa toxoid, prepared with the use of casein culture medium, were not inferior to those of the toxoid obtained in Martin broth. In experiments on white mice antisera obtained by the immunization of rabbits with the toxoid prepared on the basis of casein culture medium showed sharply pronounced protective properties against P. aeruginosa homologous and heterologous strains, as well as toxigenic reference strain PA-103.
