A simple method to prepare Salmonella (A-E) polyvalent antiserum.

Abstract:

:The preparation of Salmonella O serogroup (A-I) polyvalent antiserum is laborious. In an alternate method, rabbit antiserum raised to cell surface proteins of Salmonella serotype typhi was compared with a commercial Salmonella polyvalent (A-I) antiserum; 51 Salmonella (A-E) and 16 strains of related organisms tested gave comparable agglutination with both sera.
