| Abstract: | Several immunological properties of bacteriophage PM2 were determined. The structural components of this virus are antigenically unrelated to those of its normal host cell, Pseudomonas BAL-31. Furthermore, the virion contains at least two antigenic components. Both intact bacteriophage PM2 and its constituents appear to be only weakly immunogenic. A virus neutralizing antiserum of low potency (K < 200) could be obtained with the former, but no neutralizing antibodies were detected in the sera of rabbits injected with detergent-disrupted virus. |
