Antisera were prepared by injecting several groups of rabbits with antigen preparations of the parent streptococcus and its derived L-form. Serum was obtained from each rabbit by cardiac puncture prior to and at intervals after injection of the organisms. To measure the immune response of all animals a modified latex agglutination test was used. This test was found to be specific and easily reproducible. Animals immunized intravenously with the heat-killed streptococci and those immunized intramuscularly with the L-form produced the highest level of antibodies against their respective antigen preparations. Lancefield extracts of the streptococcus reacted with the streptococcal antisera but not with antisera to the L-form. In the antisera to the L-form we found specific antibodies which could not be adsorbed with the parent streptococcus. |
