The protective effect of antiserum to E. coli bacteria was studied in intraperitoneally infected mice. It was found that protection was obtained with O and K antibodies. There was no indication that H antibodies could prevent infection. 19S (IgM) and 78 (IgG) antibodies showed about the same protection against infection.
