On tubercle bacillus

Studies on Tubercle Bacillus-histiocyte Relationship

Studies of passive transfer of cellular resistance, as manifested by refractoriness to necrotization with virulent tubercle bacilli, have shown that immune histiocytes or immune lymphocytes were effective transferring agents; immune polymorphonuclear leucocytes and immune serum as well as comparable cells from normal animals lacked this capacity. Comparisons of immune histiocytes and immune lym...

Studies on Tubercle Bacillus-monocyte Relationship

Studies of the conditions necessary for maintenance of constant cell populations in vitro in the Mackaness type of culture chamber have indicated the importance of preliminary trypsinization of cells and the beneficial effect of 40 per cent rabbit serum in Tyrode's solution. Under these optimal conditions, uninfected suspensions of monocytes exhibited little change in cell numbers over a period...

Tuberculosis and the Tubercle Bacillus

molecular systematics terminology and explains how phylogenetic relationships among species are inferred from molecular data. I wish every traditional taxonomist and systematist would read this chapter. This book contains a few misspellings (e.g., the chapter title in the Table of

Tubercle Bacillus and Laboratory Methods in Tuberculosis

T HIS iS .A very interesting book. It is divided into two main sections one on the tubercle bacillus and one on laborator-y methods. The section on the tubercle bacillus gives a most interesting and comprehensive survey of the great amount of wvork that has been done on the characteristics of the organism-its mo)rphology, the cultural characteristics of its various types, its pathogenicity for ...
