    Abstract:
    Aqueous extracts of two Ps. aeruginosa strains killed with acetone were subjected to fractionation by preparative ultracentrifugation and gel-chromatography. Toxic activity of the extract was found to be connected with the high-molecular, possibly glycoprotein components reacting with the corresponding antiserum in the immunoprecipitation test, and protecting 30--40% of rats against the generalized infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This protective activity is apparently connected with the protein components (molecular weight--20000--60000 dalton), nontoxic for mice, not reacting with the corresponding antiserum in the immunoprecipitation test, and protecting 60 to 80% of rats against Ps. aeruginosa infecsion. Thus, as a result of preparative ultracentrifugation and gel-chromatography it was postible to divide the toxic and the nontoxic protective components of Ps. aeruginosa.
