title: [Immunologic properties of soluble shigella antigens].
abstract: Of the live Sh. Flexner 2a and Sonne soluble antigens containing glucide-lipoid-protein complex, characterized by low toxicity, a high yield of dry substances, and the capacity to induce immunity production in mice after subcutaneous and oral immunization, were obtained by salt extraction and physical disintegration. Local antigen application into eye mucosa of guinea pigs produced local resistance against homologous causative agents and also stimulated production of the highest level of specific antibodies at the site of administration in oral and conjunctival vaccination. A marked antigenic-immunological activity of soluble shigella antigens in local administration permits to refer them to the group of protective ones and to recommend their further study in the capacity of preparations for enteral vaccination against dysentery.
