Influence of nanoparticles of colloid gold (CG) and silver (CS) on immunobiological properties of antigens and possibility of their application as adjuvants for antibody formation stimulation were studied. It was shown that F1 capsule antigen of plague microbe conjugated with nanoparticles of CG and CS possesses more strongly expressed immunogenic properties than original F1 antigen independently of the way of injection. Gold and silver sols with antigens are stable, capable to stimulate specific antibody generation subject to less antigen burden, comfortable for use, do not cause general and local reactions. All these facts give the opportunity to use them in immunologic practice as adjuvants when engineering immunobiological preparations.

, and degraded polysaccharide (PS) are easily soluble in water and in 0,9 % NaCl solution. They are homogenous and characterized by an adequate degree of purity. Aside from that, it is demonstrated that potentially PS is the most productive molecule fragment of LPS for the construction of plague immunodiagnostic preparation, since despite its decreased cytotoxocity PS retains identity of chemical composition and immunechemical specificity of endotoxin.
