Abstract

The chemical and immunological properties of the acetylated and unacetylated forms of the p-aminophenol β-glucoside of glucose have been described. The serological specificity of these β-glucosides in combination with protein has been correlated with known changes in chemical structure and has been compared with the immunological properties of the α-glucoside of the same hexose.
