PMCID: PMC2133334  PMID: 19870466

Abstract

A method is described for the purification of the A substance in horse saliva, and additional observations on the chemical properties of the preparation are reported. The preparation isolated was found to be highly active serologically and it appears to be polysaccharide in nature.
