Abstract
I investigated amino acids composition of the protein from the tuberculous pus plasma in 3 cases and free amino acids in the tungstic acid filtrates of tuberculous pus plasma by a paper-chromatographic procedure.
1) I found tuberculous pus plasma proteins do not essentially differ from usual proteins regarding the qualitative composition.
2) In 3 cases of closed tuberculous abscess never punctured free amino acids were not detected.
3) Free amino acids were present in the protein-free filtrates of tuber-culous pura of 5 closed abscesses often punctured before.
4) The number of the free amino acids found there, however, far less than that of the corresponding amino acids in hot true pura. There is a striking contrast between tubercuous and non-tuberculous true pura.
