Studies of the specificity of Legionella serology.
Sera with concurrent rises in titer to Legionella and mycoplasmal or chlamydial antigens were absorbed with whole Legionella organisms. Absorption removed Legionella reactivity only. No evidence of cross-reactivity between Legionella organisms and either Mycoplasma or Chlamydia organisms was found in studies of hyperimmune rabbit antisera.
