Abstract

In the first paper of this series (1) The meningococcic agglutinin content of 252

Type Specific Meningococcic Agglutinins. Iii. Application of the Test to Sporadic Cases and to Clinically Typical Cases Lacking Bacteriological Proof 1

“…The method used in this study has been described in our previous papers (1,2). Briefly, all serums were tested for Group 1, Group 2-alpha, and Group 2 agglutinins.…”

“…The first paper of this series was published in 1944 (1) in which the method of testing was described in detail and certain limitations of the test were discussed. The second report in 1945 (2) showed the relationship of the titers to the course of the disease. It was shown that meningococcic agglutinin production followed the classical curve of the other febrile diseases.…”
