Chemical extracts and fractions prepared from pathogenic and nonpathogenic staphylococcal strains were studied with immunodiffusion. Antigens were detected reacting with both homologous and heterologous antisera against the intact coccal cells. The allergens obtained by acidic and alkaline extraction were highly active antigens. The preparation of S. epidermidis obtained by the method of Ando-Verzhikovsky had the lowest antigen level.
