Comparative immunology of the algal genera Tetracystis

6. Summary
Antigens of algae in the genera Tetracystis
and Chlorococcum have been studied extensively by
immunodiffusion techniques. Some antigens were species-, group-
or genus-specific; others were common to both genera. The results
largely supported other data form morphology, physiology, and
ultrastructure but indicated a probable error in the taxonomic
placement of one species. The cross reactivity between genera
may be of importance in human inhalant allergy to algae.
