Potent Psittacosis Antigens Free of Anticomplementary Activity

E. Dow Whitney, Gladys M. Gnesh

Abstract

A method for the preparation of psittacosis antigen of satisfactory potency is presented. When lyophilized, the antigen is free of anticomplementary activity, stable for the 4-month period tested, apparently more sensitive than a lymphogranuloma venereum antigen in the detection of psittacosis antibodies, and apparently free of nonspecific properties.
