“…WC MG and MS antigens were treated by various methods in attempts to improve antigen quality: WC antigen (1); disrupted WC (DWC) antigen (2); sonication of WC and DWC antigens; disrupted and fractionated antigen (3); Salsbury-stained plate antigen; WC, DWC, and yolk-sac-propagated antigens purified by discontinuous sucrose gradient; and antigens solubilized by 1% detergent of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (1), N-octyl glucoside (OG), Tween 20 (4), or Triton X-100.
