Abstract
SUMMARY: The apparent non-fixation of tetanus toxin by frog brain emulsion has been re-examined. Frog brain emulsion does fix tetanus toxin, but only with 1/2000th the capacity of mammalian brain emulsion. This low toxinfixing capacity may be connected with the observation that the ganglioside in frog brain, unlike that in mammalian brain, is extractable with aqueous solvents.Keywords
