Abstract
Purification of the aspermatogenic factor of guinea pig testes has resulted in an antigen capable of inducing circulating antibody, delayed skin reactivity and a testis lesion on injection of as little as 5 ug into guinea pigs. Chemical analysis of the fraction revealed a nitrogen content of 7.7% and a polysaccharide content of 38%.
