In tests with antisera prepared from living immunoantigens of 8 X. spp., 2 Pseudomonas spp., 2 Erwinia spp. and 1 Corynebacterium sp. (in both slide agglutination and quantitative agglutination), each serum consistently showed a full titre reaction with its homologous antigen species. Also non-specific agglutination at lower serum dilutions was frequently detected among various combinations of antiserum and heterologous antigen species.
