Abstract

The antigen is said to be one of three components of an extracellular toxin produced by the anthrax agent. It is produced by incubation in a milk-peptone medium. Data are presented on tests on white mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, sheep and monkeys, indicating it is equal to or better than live STI vaccine.
