Abstract
SERUM, plasma, lysed blood cells, urine and pleural fluid or ‘lymph’ (inflammatory exudate) were obtained from cattle naturally and experimentally infected with Mycoplasma mycoides. These materials were examined for antigens of M. mycoides by means of the agar-gel double diffusion precipitin test and the quantitative agar-gel precipitin test1. They were also examined for antibodies against M. mycoides by means of the complement fixation test2 and the slide agglutination test3, and for viable M. mycoides by growth in broth cultures.
