QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPT. OF RESEARCH 16 APR-15 JUN 61.

Abstract

Work undertaken during this quarter included testing various solvents for their ability to desorb the antigenic material of sample C and D from activated carbon. Both samples were eluted successfully with 60% acetone. This is the first solvent found that desorbs any appreciable amount of either antigen from carbon. This procedure is useful for both column and batch-wise operations and was more effective for sample D than C. It has been possible to recover sample D that has been diluted approximately 1:10,000 with Little Miami River water. Plans should be made to test the column procedure at a field site. A column should be installed above and below the outfall of a known source of these antigens. (Author)
