Abstract
Antigenicity of a polymer of glutamyl peptide has been tested in 24 human volunteers. The polymer was of molecular weight and dimensions suitable for use as a plasma volume expander in humans. Skin tests, precipitin tests and complement fixation tests were performed on all subjects. The results show 18 subjects with completely negative reaction by all 3 tests. There were 4 skin test reactions of dubious significance and 1 of real significance. There was 1 significantly positive serological reaction in a person showing a minimal skin reaction.Keywords
