The properties of antigenic preparations from Brucella melitensis

Abstract
Formic acid has been identified as a product of the hydrolysis of AP, an antigenic substance derived from Brucella melitensis by cell autolysis. The formic acid is linked to an unidentified animo group. The amine contains 2 OH groups for each N atom at the penultimate stage of hydrolysis; material that reacts as a carbohydrate by the orcin method. Philpot found the amine to be centrifugally homogenous and its mol. wt. to be in the order of 3300.
