Abstract
1. Sera of human subjects immunized with pneumococci or their type-specific polysaccharides showed type-specific antibody by mouse protection tests as well as on determinations of the specifically precipitable nitrogen. 2. The ratio, mouse-protective units to antibody nitrogen, was less in human sera of low potency than in more potent human or animal sera.Keywords
