Description
Summary:The method of immunoelectrophoretic analysis was applied to the study of the antigenic structure of 180 freshly-isolated and laboratory cultures of salmonellae belonging to 29 serological types. A complicated set of specific and common antigens of bacteria was revealed in direct and cross experiments with the use of homologous and heterogenous antisera; immunophoregrams were drawn for each of the serological type under study. General regularities in immunophoretic, diffuse and serological characteristics of the individual antigens of salmonellae were established. It was shown that different serological types of salmonellae possessed surface K antigens along with the O and H antigens. On immunophoregrams K-antigens of salmonellae were revealed in the form of a bright precipitation arch in the central or the anode zone; O antigens gave a characteristic two-component precipitation line in the cathode zone of the phoregram.
