Abstract excerpt
Previously reported studies revealed that extensive immunization with the Methanol Extraction Residue (MER) of BCG tubercle bacillus in Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) induced marked suppression of T and B cell functions in vivo and in vitro. The purpose of the present work was to determine whether immunosuppression induced by hyperimmunization with MER is correlated with changes in morphological...
