Abstract
- 1. By combination of hemolytic streptococcal protein with an azo component and study of the chemical and serological properties of the resulting red azo antigen it is shown that only a portion of the azo-protein reacts serologically.
- 2. An antiserum to the dye-streptococcal protein contained anti-hapten since it precipitated its red analogs, R-salt-azobiphenylazo egg albumin and R-salt-azo-biphenylazo-horse serum albumin.
