Abstract
Sera with concurrent rises in titer to Legionella and mycoplasmal or chlamydial antigens were absorbed with whole Legionella organisms. Absorption removed Legionella reactivity only. No evidence of cross-reactivity between Legionella organisms and either Mycoplasma or Chlamydia organisms was found in studies of hyperimmune rabbit antisera.
