title: Serological reactivity of chemical fractions of Mycoplasma bovis.
abstract: Crude chemical fractions, homogenates, and whole cells of Mycoplasma bovis were tested for serological reactivity using agar gel diffusion, ring precipitation, indirect hemagglutination, inhibition of growth inhibition (IGI), and complement-fixation (CF) tests. Only the IGI and the CF tests gave sensitive and reproducible serological information. Preliminary studies indicated lipids to be the serologically reactive components of M. bovis.
