Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

1°. Bacterial spores are antigenic.

2°. Spore-antigen is distinct and separate from the antigens of the bacillary forms to which the spores give rise on germination.

3°. Antigens of the spores of various kinds of spore-bearing bacilli are also mutually distinct.

I am greatly indebted to Miss A.de Groot for her technical assistence.
