SUMMARY The properties of the rat submaxillary gland (RSMG) virus haemagglntinin and its serum antihaemagglutinin, and their incidence and relative titres in gnotobiotic and conventional Sprague-Dawley rats of various ages were investigated. The haemagglutinin was stable at -55 ° for as long as 21 years and retained its activity after z hr at 6o °. Various carbohydrases and cobra venom had no effect upon its titre; however, 2 × crystallized trypsin and pronase reduced the titre substantially. The haemagglutinin was not re- covered from the submaxillary glands of rats less than 8 weeks of age, though 3-, 5-, and 6-week-old animals had low serum antihaemagglutinin titres. A general correlation was observed between the haemagglutinin and anti- haemagglutinin titres of the animals; higher serum antihaemagglutinin titres occurred in those rats with higher haemagglutination titres. No significant difference was usually seen between the haemagglutination titres of gnoto- biotic and conventional rats of the same age. The antihaemagglutinin titres of some conventional rats, however, tended to be two- to fourfold greater than those of gnotobiotic animals of comparable age with identical haemagglutina- tion titres. Sera which were heated at 56° for 3o min. absorbed with kaolin, incubated with trypsin, potassium or sodium periodate, or receptor- destroying enzyme showed no reduction in their antihaemagglutinin titres. Sucrose density-gradient centrifugation studies indicated that the anti- haemagglutinin was associated with the 7 S fraction; however, some sera showed antihaemagglutinin activity in the 19 S fraction. The haemagglutinin of rat submaxillary gland virus was not inhibited by antisera prepared in mice against reovirus 3, Kitham's rat virus, Toolan's H-I virus or Crawford's minute virus of mice.
