Abstract
Summary
1) Antigenicity of a polymer of glutamyl peptide has been tested in 24 human volunteers. The polymer was of molecular weight and dimensions suitable for use as a plasma volume expander in humans. Skin tests, precipitin tests and complement fixation tests were performed on all subjects. 2) The results show 18 subjects with completely negative reactions by all 3 tests. There were 4 skin test reactions of dubious significance and one of real significance. There was one significantly positive serological reaction in a person showing a minimal skin reaction.
