Elimination of Nonspecific Components from Viral Antigens by Fluorocarbon

[摘要] Several viral complement fixing antigens derived from various host systems were treated with fluorocarbon. It was possible to remove undesirable reactivities such as anticomplementary activity and host component antigens from these preparations.The specific complement fixing antigens demonstrated differences in their susceptibilities to the fluorocarbon treatment. Those of the Coxsackie and poliomyelitis groups tolerated successive treatments without loss in titers. Others, i.e. , mumps and influenza virus (V) and soluble (S) antigens, were precipitated after 2 treatments.
