Abstract

1. The immunization of horses with the colicinogenic bacillus E. coli K235 L + O(m) stimulates antibodies which precipitate and neutralize colicine K and neutralize the heterologous colicine I as well. 2. Unlike rabbits, horses evoke predpitating antibodies for the sialic acid-containing polysaccharide colominic acid.
