Abstract
PIROSKY1 has shown that strains of Pasteurella septica produce lipopolysaccharide antigens with similar properties to the endotoxins of certain other Gram-negative bacteria. We have isolated lipopolysaccharides from some strains of P. septica and studied their serological specificity in relation to the immunological status of the strains as measured by passive protection tests2,3.
