Purified egg‐grown influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (HON1) was shown to contain the Forssman‐hapten in the lipid fraction. Forssman determinants could not be demonstrated in the influenza proteins. The strain X‐31 (H3N2) was also shown to have the Forssman hapten. The keratosulphatelike host antigen seemed to be located on both types of spikes.
