✦ Synopsis
Serological reactions (complement-fixation) of a series of synthetic lactosyl dihydroceramides containing fatty acid residues with 2 to 18 carbon atoms were studied with two antisera reacting well with naturally occurring cytolipin H. The chain length of the fatty acid residue played an important role in activity of the hapten: molecules with 6 carbon atoms or less were unreactive, whereas molecules with 10 or more carbon atoms were maximally reactive.
