Serological reactivity of chemical fractions of Mycoplasma bovis.
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.
