Abstract
Fractions have been obtained from saline extracts of acetone-killed cells of Past. pestis by (NH4)2SO4 or acid precipitation. These fractions (ESF) are adsorbed by sheep RBC and cause
erythrocytes so treated to agglutinate in the presence of antiplague serum. Hemagglutination
is more sensitive and more specific than bacterial agglutination for the detection
of plague antibodies and may be used as an approximation of the degree of protection
obtained in tests for the efficacy of immunizing-agents.
