Two murine toxic proteins of relatively equivalent specific toxicity, previously isolated from an avirulent strain of Pasteurella pestis, have been further characterized. Molecular weights determined on Sephadex G-200 columns were 240 000 for Toxin A and 120 000 for Toxin B. Whereas this information...
