Abstract
A procedure is described for obtaining large quantities of purified endotoxin of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using Diaflo ultrafiltration. This method allowed us to isolate from the protein-lipopolysaccharide complex two low-molecular-weight substances which do not play any antigenic role. It provides a useful tool for immunological purposes.
