Abstract
Vi antibody response of rabbits varied depending on whether Vi antigen was administered in particulate or soluble state. Vi antigen in particulate form induced hemagglutinins, bacterial agglutinins, and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) antibodies, whereas soluble Vi antigen induced only hemagglutinins. Guinea pigs passively sensitized with antisera against particulate Vi antigen gave PCA reactions when challenged with either soluble or cellular Vi antigen; antisera against soluble Vi antigen were negative for PCA. The specificity of PCA was demonstrated by its dependence on the Vi concentration and by absorption of PCA activity from antisera with V-form cells of Salmonella typhosa.
