Abstract
Summary
1. Agglutination of latex particles and other particulate bodies by chicken sera has been shown to be due to presence of certain high molecular weight gamma and β globulins. This technic promises to be a simple reliable tool to study some of the properties of these proteins. 2. It has been shown that these proteins are active only in their native state and not following depolymerization. 3. Agglutination is inhibited by prior addition of other proteins, especially those with a basic charge. This is probably due to prior coating of the particle by these proteins.
