The animals in the gliadin group yielded 9 cc. of blood, the four animals in the control group yielded 16 cc. of blood. Table VII shows that the gliadin diet made no difference to the agglutinin and amboceptor production, although the animals in this group showed no growth owing to the restriction in the diet. The view that the nutritive restriction of gliadin is due to the lack of lysine is not altogether supported by the observations of McCollum, Si

Table VII shows that the gliadin diet made no difference to the agglutinin and amboceptor production, although the animals in this group showed no growth owing to the restriction in the diet. The view that the nutritive restriction of gliadin is due to the lack of lysine is not altogether supported by the observations of McCollum, Simmonds and Pitz [1917] and Geiling [1917]. The former found that when maize kernel, which is poor in lysine, is supplemented by gelatin, which is very rich in that amino-acid, the nutritive value of the maize is not enhanced. The latter is led to believe by his investigation that lysine is not indispensable for existence of the mouse. Whatever the deficiency of gliadin may be due to it does not inhibit the production of agglutinins and amboceptor. 650 600 550 500 450 400 350. Table VII. Agglutination.
