Abstract

The soluble antigens of a virulent, newly isolated strain of Pasteurella pestis were compared to the anti­gens of an avirulent, well-documented strain (A-1122). The virulent strain gave two immunogenic fractions when passed through a Sephadex G-200, superfine column. The avirulent strain gave four. All fractions from both strains had a common antigen. The method of Sephadex separation appeared to be an excellent means for the separation and purification of the soluble antigens of P. pestis.
