چکیده
It is an already established fact through the investigations by Thomson (1), Saenz (2), Rist (3), Freund (4), Hensel (5), etc that the inoculation of a paraffin oil suspension of heat-killed tubercle bacilli produces in experimental animals a state of hypersensitivity much more intense and lasting than that given by the same amount of the killed bacilli in saline solution. We have confirmed this fact in guinea pigs, and in addition, had some experiences in the application of the oil suspension of heat-killed BCG to human beings as a vaccine. These results have already been re-

Regression by active specific immunotherapy of established dermal tumor transplants and lymph node metastases in guinea pigs.
Guinea pigs, each with an established, syngeneic dermal tumor (line-10) and microscopic lymph node metastasis, were treated by intradermal inoculation of living line-10 tumor cells admixed with emulsified heat-killed Mycobacterium bovis BCG cells. This treatment caused complete regression of established dermal tumors (about 10 mm in diameter) and prevented the growth of microscopic lymph node m...

Complement fixing antibody in animals injected with heat killed tubercle bacilli in oil appears earlier in the lesion at the site of injection than in the blood serum. Complement fixing antibody in an extract prepared by suspending one part by weight of tissue from the local site in five parts of saline is in general in higher concentration than in the blood, for a period of approximately 3 wee...
