[Isolation and study of active peptides in Salmonella H antigens]

The monomer forms of Salmonella H-antigens a, b, d, i, 1, 2 have both specific antigenic determinants, characteristic of each H-antigen, and common determinants. The presence of two types of determinant groups leads to the appearance of cross reactions in the enzyme immunoassay. In this work the method for the isolation of peptides carrying only specific antigenic determinants is proposed.
