Temperature Reaction Following Intravenous Injections of Proteins of Navy Bean with Special Reference to Hemagglutinating Fraction. 20

Abstract

Summary

A method is presented for preparing a strongly hemagglutinating, non-pyrogenic extract from navy beans. This extract is high in protein content. The method demonstrates that the proteins of the bean which may be extracted by water are not fever-producing unless contaminated by bacteria or products of bacterial action.
