Inhibition of leptospiral agglutination by the type-specific main antigens of leptospiras.

Y Adachi, R Yanagawa
PMCID: PMC421144  PMID: 70411

Abstract

Microscopic agglutination of leptospiras was inhibited by the homologous type-specific main antigens. The result may indicate that the substance participating in the agglutination of leptospiras with antiserum is the type-specific main antigen.
