A comparison between a BCG antigen and various batches of an antigen extracted at different times from leishmania cultures in the fixation of complement reaction is reported. A better response was obtained with BCG (further confirmation on a larger series is being sought), whereas the leishmania antigens were difficult to prepare and their batch titres were not constant.
