Antigens of Pasteurella tularensis: preparative procedures.

Immunogenic Substances in Culture Filtrates and Lysates of Pasteurella Tularensis.

Hatch, Melvin T. (University of Utah, Salt Lake City), and Paul S. Nicholes. Immunogenic substances in culture filtrates and lysates of Pasteurella tularensis. J. Bacteriol. 88:566-573. 1964.-Culture filtrates and lysates of Pasteurella tularensis were tested for immunogenicity in mice subsequently infected with either strain 425 or 425 F4G. The efficacy of the vaccines varied with dosage and w...

Immunoadsorbent for the Isolation of Pasteurella tularensis-Specific Antibodies.

The Schu-5 strain of Pasteurella tularensis was cross-linked with tetra-azotized benzidine and employed for the isolation of purified specific antibodies. The isolation procedure increased the content of specifically precipitable antibodies at least 40-fold.

A growth medium without blood cells for Pasteurella tularensis.

Chemically defined medium for the growth of Pasteurella tularensis.

Chemically defined media for the growth of Pasteurella tularensis have been described by Tamura and Fleming (1949) and more recently by Giesken (1954), Mager et al. (1954), and Traub et al. (1955). Upon application of the latter medium (Traub et al.) for the growth of a virulent strain of P. tularensis, it was noted that the viable cell yields were markedly lower than yields previously obtained...
