Extract

Extensive cross-reactions have been found between cultural forms of trypanosomes of the ‘brucei’ group by the agglutination reaction. The antigen (or antigens) responsible for agglutination are apparently specific to the ‘brucei’ group of trypanosomes. These antigens are also quite stable to the presence of specific antiserum in contrast to the serotype of the blood trypanosomes which are known to be altered in the presence of specific antiserum.
