DEMONSTRATION OF AGGLUTININS FOR BARTONELLA BACILLIFORMIS [PDF]
1. Methods of preparing a satisfactory antigen having been developed, a technique for performing an agglutination test with B. bacilliformis is made available. 2. As a result of repeated intravenous injection of living cultures of B. bacilliformis at short intervals, rabbits have been found to produce a high titre of specific agglutinins
