Abstract The localization of common antigens with tissues of the human bronchopulmonary apparatus was studied in cells ofNeisseria perflava andKlebsiella pneumoniae. Cross reactions of several structures ofN. perflava andK. pneumoniae cells (capsule, cell walls, fractions of cytoplasmic structures, hyaloplasm) were studied in the complement fixation test (CFT) with antilung sera. Antigens cross-reacting with antilung sera were found not only in surface structures (cell walls) of the bacterial cells but also in deep components (cytoplasmic fraction rich in RNP) of the microorganism.
