Abstract
The analyzed strain of Sh. boydii 15 induced antibodies against the somatic antigen conjugate, as in most Shigellae. Except for the protein carrier of the somatic antigen, only a few of the homologous protein determinants induced corresponding antibodies; these were illustrated with the help of an antiserum to proteins from Sh. sonnei. The proteins of Sh. boydii 15 displayed a wide range of antibiotic activity against Shigella, E. coli and Salmonella. Another aspect of the biological activities of the proteins isolated from Sh. boydii 15 was its temperate phage receptor activity. This activity was found in the free proteins and well as in the protein moiety of the somatic antigen.
