Abstract

An agar gel method for the detection and separation of antibodies against staphylococcal deoxyribonucleases (DNases) is described. Preliminary tests show that such antibodies occur rather frequently in healthy individuals of various animal species. Two to 3 electrophoretically different fractions of anti-DNases were found in individuals of some species.

Sammendrag

En har beskrevet en spesiell agargel-metode for påvisning og separasjon av antistoffer mot stafylokokk-deoxyribonuklease (DNase). Preliminsere undersøkelser viser at slike antistoffer forekommer forholdsvis hyppig hos friske individer av forskjellige dyrearter. To til tre elektroforetisk forskjellige fraksjoner av anti-DNaser ble påvist hos individer fra enkelte arter.
