| Abstract: | Aerobic actinomycetes associated with various clinical conditions in man and animals were studied for their antigenic relationships along with related organisms. Culture filtrate antigens obtained from 16 species were tested by antigen-antibody crossed-immunoelectrophoresis and by agar gel double diffusion against rabbit antibodies to Nocardia asteroides, N. brasiliensis and N. caviae. Weak cross-reactivity was detected among the three, Nocardia species and Micropolyspora brevicatena, but no cross-reactivity was noted with antigens from any of the other species studied. |
