The preparation of antisera specific for flagella of Salmonella species

Immunology. 1968 Jan;14(1):1-6.

Abstract

Antisera specific for the H antigens (flagella) of Salmonella typhi and Salmonella typhimurium have been raised in rabbits with protein extracts of acetone-dried bacteria from which O antigens, inevitably present in such extracts, have been removed by precipitation with specific anti-O sera. The same procedure with Salmonella enteritidis proved unsuccessful.
