By means of physical and chemical procedures 7 antigenic fractions have been isolated from Trichinella epiralis larvae, as determined by complement-fixation. Some evidence is presented to indicate that at least some of the isolated fractions are antigenically distinct and that antibodies in Trichinella-infested rabbit develop at different times for different fractions. Importance of using a properly selected antigen in serodiagnosis of trichinosis is discussed.
