Dermal granulomatous reactivity to Q fever antigens in guinea pigs was applied to study the ability of subfractions of C. burnetii to produce granulomas. Q fever organisms in phase I, trichloroacetic acid-soluble and -insoluble fractions and the extract and residue of CHCl3 methanol extraction were tested for their relative ability to elicit and immunize for dermal granulomatous reactions and specific lymphocyte proliferative responses in guinea pigs. Evidently, a determinant(s) causing granulomas can be removed by CHCl3-methanol extraction of phase I whole cells. The CHCl3-methanol residue elicited strong delayed-type hypersensitivity without subsequent granuloma formation. The CHCL3-methanol residue appears to possess a determinant(s) for lymphocyte stimulation equivalent to that of whole phase I organisms.
