A series of experiments on the specificity of anthrax precipitin serum were made. Experimental results in diverse cases of group reaction exhibited by extracts of various bacterial species with anti-anthrax serum have been reported. The present report presents the results in converse cases (i.e., the precipitin reaction of the anthrax extract with heterologous antisera), and the results of the cross-reaction test for the relation between antigenic structures of these bacterial species. It was, as an interesting fact, reported in the previous paper that in the extracellular product of the anthrax bacillus grown on agar medium a substance seems to be contained, which itself exhibits a very weak antigenicity in vivo, but which, when mixed with bacterial cells, seems to be capable of inciting the production of anti-body, and a substance which reacts strongly with anti-anthrax serum. The present report also includes results of the test for the presence of such antigenically active substances in products of other bacterial species, and results of the test for the antigenicity of these products by the same experimental method as for the bacterial extracts, and results of the test for the relation between antigenic substances contained in extracts and in products by the absorption technique. The results are presented below.
