[Choleragen-anatoxin chemical cholera vaccine enriched with Ogawa O-antigen].

The cultural fluid of Vibrio cholerae strains of serovar Ogawa, grown under the conditions of submerged cultivation, has been shown to contain a large amount of soluble O-antigen which sharply differs from all other concomitant components in its molecular weight. By enriching the commercial chemical cholera vaccine known as Choleragen Toxoid with purified Ogawa O-antigen a new preparation, consisting mainly of cholera toxoid and Ogawa and Inaba O-antigens and capable of producing pronounced immunity to V. cholerae of both serovars, has been obtained.
