Abstract
Group-specific polysaccharides of streptococci, extracted with formamide and purified by various methods, were adsorbed onto polystyrene latex particles, causing them to be agglutinated specifically by homologous antisera. This method was used to determine the group-specific antibody titres of hyperimmune rabbit sera.
