Antigenic Relationships Among Species of Mycobacterium Studied by Fused Rocket Immunoelectrophoresis

Abstract

The fused rocket immunoelectrophoresis procedure is a sensitive procedure for detecting precipitating antigens in extracts of mycobacteria. A number of preparations can be run simultaneously and in parallel with the production of lines of identity. The increased sensitivity and facility of identification make this procedure a very promising one in the study of taxonomic relationships.
