Three precipitating serum soluble antigens (SAg 1, SAg 2, SAg 3) were demonstrated in the serum of fowls that had been injected with Plasmodium gallinaceum 12 to 80 hours previously. These antigens were detected when the fowls were tested by double diffusion in gel against an antiserum obtained from fowls that survived the infection. The three antigens showed a molecular weight relationship of SAg 1 > SAg 2 > SAg 3 based on their diffusion in gel and elution from Sephadex G-200.
