Chemical and immunobiological experiments in the study of the nature of yeast polysaccharides. (Ztschr. F. Immunitätsf Bd. 88,1936)150719373379319310207202102072021Copyright © 1937, Editorial B.1937<p>Yeast polysaccharides are of great interest to both the chemist and the chemist. and for an immunobiologist, since their immunobiological specificity has been established by the reactions of flocculation, complement binding and precipitation. Of particular interest is the existence of a peculiar connection between yeast polysaccharides and polysaccharides of type II pneumococcus, since it has been proven that the antisera of rabbits treated with yeast react specifically with pneumococci of this type, agglutinate them and have the same protective effect in experiments on mice as a homologous antiserum.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
