title: [Antibody response to capsular polysaccharide antigen in an infection caused by meningococcus serogroup B in children].
abstract: The continuous synchronous cultivation of serogroup B meningococci and the use of the selected clones of producer strains has made it possible to obtain the serologically active preparation of the group-specific antigen from the culture in the exponential phase. The erythrocyte diagnosticum produced on the basis of this preparation has permitted the detection of group-specific antibodies in the sera of immunized rabbits and children with generalized infection caused by serogroup B meningococci. The intensity of immune response depends on the age of children. This new technique of the passive hemagglutination test is recommended for the confirmation of generalized infection caused by serogroup B meningococci.
