Antituberculous Immunity Induced by Methanol Extracts of Tubercle Bacilli—its Enhancement by Adjuvants
It is possible to prepare from tubercle bacilli a fraction soluble in methanol which is capable of eliciting in mice a marked degree of resistance against virulent tuberculous infection. The immunity was evident whether the infective dose was large and caused a disease with a rapid course, or was very small and caused a disease of many months duration. Active material has been obtained by extra...
متن کاملAntituberculous Immunity Induced in Mice by Vaccination with Living Cultures of Attenuated Tubercle Bacilli
The immunity induced in mice by vaccination with living attenuated cultures of tubercle bacilli was measured by two criteria. (a) Increase in survival time of the vaccinated animals after infection with a dose of virulent bacilli sufficient to kill all the unvaccinated controls within 10 to 20 days. (b) Difference in the number of living bacilli recovered from the spleen and lungs of vaccinated...
متن کاملAntituberculous Immunity in Mice Vaccinated with Killed Tubercle Bacilli
The resistance of white mice to tuberculous infection could be increased by preliminary vaccination with small amounts of tubercle bacilli killed by contact with 2 per cent phenol. Vaccine prepared from a variant strain of human tubercle bacilli unable to multiply in vivo (H37Ra) proved as active as vaccines prepared from either virulent or attenuated strains. The immunity induced by phenol-kil...
متن کاملAntituberculous Immunity Induced in Mice by Vaccination with Killed Tubercle Bacilli or with a Soluble Bacillary Extract
It proved possible to increase the resistance of mice to tuberculous infection by vaccinating them with a suspension of avirulent tubercle bacilli killed by exposure to 2 per cent phenol. This increase in resistance was demonstrated by two different techniques: (a) observation of survival time of vaccinated animals following challenge infection with a large dose of virulent bacilli, and (b) det...
متن کاملStudies on Fractions of Methanol Extracts of Tubercle Bacilli
Fractions of methanol extract which had been previously demonstrated to increase the resistance of mice to experimental tuberculosis have been subjected to an examination of their toxic and allergenic properties. The criteria for toxicity were: (a) production of inflammatory skin reactions in guinea pigs; (b) induction of weight loss in mice by intraperitoneal injection; and (c) depression of r...
