Abstract
Experiments were performed which show that virulent strains ofSalmonella paratyphiA contain an additional antigen which has all the properties of a Vi antigen.The anti-Vi immune serum combined in suitable proportions with an anti-0 immune serum exerted maximal bactericidal effect on virulent strains.Keywords
