[Immunogenic properties of the cellular components of Brucella]

A study was made of immunogenic properties of the cell wall and other cellular components of brucellae obtained by mechanical disntegration of bacteria. The greatest immunogenic properties proved to be possessed by the cell walls. In using the vaccine consisting o the living vaccine of the Br. abortus strain 19 and the cell walls of brucellae the efficacy of the preparation was not reduced in experiments on guinea pigs and mice.
