STUDIES ON THE OXIDATION AND REDUCTION OF IMMUNOLOGICAL SUBSTANCES : III. TETANOLYSIN.
A preliminary study was made of the rate of formation of tetanolysis and of the effect of glucose upon the lysin production. The heat lability of tetanolysin was next compared with that of the lysins of other bacteria. Finally the methods used to estimate the relative amounts of "active" hemoglobin and its "inactive" derivatives in deteriorated solutions of blood pigments were applied to the differentiation of the various derivatives of "active" tetanolysin present in deteriorated culture fluids.
