Popis: The staphylococcal radioimmune precipitation (St-RIP) test was applied to sera of laboratory personnel who had been vaccinated against plague. Antibodies were detected in the majority of 117 sera from 55 human vaccine recipients; a few individuals appeared to be immunologically nonresponsive since they failed to produce detectable antibodies. Highly significant statistical correlations were observed among St-RIP, indirect hemagglutination, and mouse protection index tests. Increases in antibody level were usually observed upon primary and booster vaccination.
