Crossed immunoelectrophoretic analysis of anti-Salmonella typhi antibodies in sera of typhoid patients and carriers: demonstration of the presence of typhoid-specific antibodies to a non-O, non-H, non-Vi antigen.

abstract：:We are currently studying the soluble egg antigens of Schistosoma japonicum in an attempt to determine which antigens are potent immunogens. Previously, we demonstrated by Ouchterlony immunodiffusion and inhibition of the circumoval precipitin test that the glycoprotein fraction of soluble egg antigens contains the an...
