Staphylococcal leukocidin is resolved by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose columns into two components, which are designated F (fast) and S (slow). Fixation and inactivation of both components were studied as follows. (i) Leukocidin activity was confined to the first 10 min of intoxication, and the maximal effect resulted from treating 10 6 rabbit peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes per 20 μl with 0.5 ng of each component of leukocidin. The S component was more responsible for the interaction with the leukocytes than the F component. (ii) The F component was inactivated by phosphatidylcholine at concentrations which corresponded to molar proportions of 1:1 and bound to [ 14 C]phosphatidylcholine at equimolar proportions. (iii) The S component was inactivated by ganglioside G M1 at 1:1 molar proportions, but not by any of the related glycolipids. Ganglioside G M1 also was precipitated with the S component by a gel diffusion technique. Subunit B of cholera toxin competitively inhibited the binding of the S component to rabbit leukocyte membranes. This indicates that ganglioside G M1 may resemble or be part of the receptor site for the S component.

It has been suggested that information on the phylogenetic relationships of genera and species could be obtained by comparing the amino acid sequence in the homologous proteins of different species. This procedure is extremely difficult and time-consuming.However, a relatively rapid characterization of proteins can be obtained by analysing their mobilities with starch-gel electrophoresis and examination of antigenic diversity by the agar gel diffusion technique of Ouchterlony.

Heterobimetallic crystals of a cadmium–sodium complex of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione, namely, μ-aqua-1:2κ2 O:O-heptaaqua-1κ3 O,2κ2 O,3κ2 O-bis(μ-4,6-dioxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,3,5-triazin-2-olato)-1:2κ2 O 2:N 1;2:3κ2 N 1:O 2-bis(4,6-dioxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,3,5-triazin-2-olato)-1κO 2,3κO 2-2-cadmium-1,3-disodium, [CdNa2(C3H2N3O3)4(H2O)8], were grown by the single gel diffusion technique. The asymmetric unit of the title compound comprises four 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione ligands, two sodium atoms and one cadmium atom. Of the four ligands, two are monodentately coordinated to two Na atoms. The third ligand is coordinated bidentately to one Na and the Cd atom and the fourth is also coordinated bidentately to the Cd atom and the other Na atom. All the metal atoms are six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral geometry. The water molecules bridge the Na atoms, constructing coordination polymer chains along the a axis and hence are linked by two Cd and one Na coordinations through the cyanuric acid ligands present in the coordination polymer chains, generating a two-dimensional coordination polymer in the (110) plane. The polymer formation is further assisted by means of many intermolecular and intramolecular N—H...O, O—H...O and O–H...N hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the ligands.

The use of the agar gel diffusion technique has established the presence of three distinct antigenic reactions in the sera of Ad. 12 tumor-bearing hamsters. Only one of these antigens is directly demonstrable in the tumor. This "tumor" antigen is also formed during early stages of the infectious cycle in tissue culture cells. Other antigens present in the tumor, but only demonstrable indirectly with the use of antibody-containing serum of tumored hamsters, are the classical type-specific C antigen, and a new antigen, termed D. Of ninety-eight Ad. 12 tumored hamster sera, six reacted in gel diffusion with virus and tumor preparations, and thirty-one with tumor only. Sera which reacted in gel diffusion with viral antigen uniformly bad neutralizing antibody and high titers of CF antibody against viral and tumor antigens; however, many sera with comparable antibody titers did not react with the virus in gel diffusion. Sera which reacted in gel diffusion only with tumor antigen also had high CF antibody titers, but there was no correlation with neutralizing antibody.

Study of the chemical properties of the pyrogenic component of rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes reveals it to contain an essential, non-dialyzable protein which: (a) is precipitated by perchloric acid, (b) is removed by extraction with phenol, (c) is soluble in 50 per cent methanol and 33 per cent saturated ammonium sulfate, and (d) is destroyed by the proteolytic action of both trypsin and pepsin. By combined chemical and chromatographic techniques the leucocytic pyrogen has been purified approximately 50-fold. The partially purified material contains less than 1 per cent carbohydrate, is resistant to periodate oxidation, is unaffected by extraction with butanol and contains at least two immunologically active components when tested by the Ouchterlony gel-diffusion technique. Its chemical properties distinguish it from other known pyrogenic substances which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of fever.
