✦ Synopsis

apparatus revealed three components present, whether tlle preparation was derived from H, O, or Vi-containing strains. Each of the three fractions provided some protection against infection with virulent typhoid organisms to mice, but were not in any way superior to the unfractionated concentrate. The fractions obtained from the Vi-containing strains were most potent in this respect. It was also noted that while only the gamma fraction showed serological activity as indicated by precipitin reactions in the case of the H and 0 strains, with the Vi strains the beta component was also serologically active. Indeed, it appeared that the Vi antigen was associated with this fraction.
