M. aImmunological and chemical characteristics of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis cell walls and protoplasm.h[electronic resource] c1971 aSucessive extraction of purified Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis cell walles with ether: ethanol, cold and hot trichloroacetic acid and crystalline trypsin did not destroy their immunizing potency. Cell walls were not susceptible to the action of lysozyme unless pre-treated with trichloroacetic acid and NaOH. Treatment with NaOH, however, destroved the immunizing properties. Protoplasm also contains immunizing antigen but because of the insolubility of the antigen it could not be purified and characterized. By gel diffusion it was found that cell walls and a protoplasm fraction contain a common antigen. It could not, however, be proved that this antigen is exclusively responsible for inducing a protective immunity. aCytoplasm aGoats aImmunology aMice aBactéria aCaprino aCorynebacterium Pseudotuberculosis aDoença aLinfadenite Caseosa1 aPURDOM, M.
