Cross Reactions of Polyglucoses in Antipneumococcal Sera

[摘要] The cross reactivity of Types IX and XII antipneumococcal rabbit sera toward glycogen, a limit dextrin, and a fraction of synthetic polyglucose is described and related in a measure to the chemical constitution of these carbohydrates.The precipitation of antibody by glycogen and limit dextrin is reversed by the action of amylase present in the sera, but conditions are given for minimizing the effects of the enzyme.
