Crude preparations of gangliosides have been treated with albumin via a carbodi-imide mediator. The reaction was stopped by precipitation with ammonium sulphate. Following resuspension of the precipitate, unsubstituted albumin was mixed with the albumin-ganglioside conjugate and the suspension treated with glutaraldehyde and then coated onto cellulose filters. These ganglioside affinity filters could be used for the identification of toxigenic strains of Clostridium botulinum types C and D.
