Antibodies in rabbits immunized with staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid.
Fractionated rabbit antiserum to staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA) was tested for reaction with homologous antigen by precipitation in agar gel, countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis, immunoperoxidase technique and electron microscopy. The antibodies to LTA present in the rabbit antisera examined were found to be of the IgM class.
