Abstract
Alanine ester hydrochlorides, which have been used in studying the specificity of antibodies to teichoic acids, were shown to cause non-specific inhibition of the precipitin reaction. Non-specific inhibition was also caused by lysine and glucosamine hydrochlorides and inorganic salts. The marked effect of divalnent cations would be consistent with their forming complexes with teichoic acids. It is concluded that the effect is due to an increase in the ion concentration in general rather than to a decrease in pH.
