The Somatic Antigens of Two Strains of Rhizobium trifolii [PDF]
SUMMARY: Strain-specific lipopolysaccharide extracted by hot phenol from two strains of Rhizobium trifolii was fully antigenic in rabbits with an injection schedule using Freund's adjuvant, and highly active in gel diffusion. A minor second diffusion line was considered to be due to a smaller fragment of the main molecule, since the antigen was ...
