Abstract

The immobilization of paramecia when mixed with appropriate antisera has been utilized as a specific and semi· quantitative assay for the serotypic antigens (adsorption titration). While serotypic antigen in both soluble and particle·bound forms is detected by adsorption titration, only soluble antigen is detected in gel.diffusion analysis. 500 g, 3000 g, 12,000 g, and 105,000 g particulate fractions as well as 105,000 g and 150,000 g cell supernatant fractions were prepared by differential centrifugation. Analyses of these fractions indicate:
