Abstract
Serotyping sera for tube agglutination (using IMSUT [Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo] sera) and slide agglutination (using TIBS [Toshiba Institute of Biological Science] sera) were successfully prepared using Homma''s serotype strains. They were type specific and distinct. The 2 typing sera (IMSUT and TIBS) were used to determine the correspondence of major O-antigens among the different kinds of serotype schema which are used at present throughout the world. The serotype sera of Lanyi, Liu and Meitert were also used for the same purpose. The relationships among serotypes of the 7 schemata were clarified. Cross-reactions were found among several serotypes in each of several serotype schemata was suggested.
