Summary
Some Wassermann-positive serums give precipitation reaction on paper with diluted lipoid antigen. Preliminary drying of serum on paper and employment of nondiluted antigen in certain ratios considerably increased the sensitivity of this method. It is presumed that Wassermann reagents are precipitated on paper with lipoid antigen.
