Rabbit antisera prepared to meningococcal serogroups Y and W135 strains were compared with horse antisera using the antiserum agar method (ASA) for the serogroup identification of Neisseria meningitidis. Thirty-seven group Y strains formed immunoprecipitates with the Y rabbit serum only, whereas the same Y strains formed immunoprecipitates with both the Y and W135 horse antisera. Forty-seven W135 strains formed specific immunoprecipitates with both the rabbit and horse W135 antisera by ASA. None of the 166 meningococcal isolates, representative of other meningococcal serogroups, formed immunoprecipitates with the groups Y and W135 rabbit or horse antisera. Use of specific Y and W135 rabbit antisera in ASA provides an improved technique for the serogroup differentiation of groups Y and W135 meningococci.
使用抗血清琼脂法（ASA）对脑膜炎奈瑟菌进行血清群鉴定，比较了针对脑膜炎球菌血清群Y和W135菌株制备的兔抗血清与马抗血清。37株血清群Y菌株仅与Y兔血清形成免疫沉淀，而相同的Y菌株与Y和W135马抗血清均形成免疫沉淀。47株W135菌株通过ASA与兔和马W135抗血清均形成特异性免疫沉淀。代表其他脑膜炎球菌血清群的166株脑膜炎球菌分离株，均未与血清群Y和W135兔或马抗血清形成免疫沉淀。在ASA中使用特异性Y和W135兔抗血清为血清群Y和W135脑膜炎球菌的血清群鉴别提供了一种改进技术。
