It is probable that these were cultures from avian tuberculosis. )/[etchnikoff suggeste...

A form of cellular resistance which has been intensively investigated in our laboratories is one that is directed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This cellular resistance, which is readily demonstrated with the histiocytes of rabbits immunized with the BCG strain of tubercle bacillus, is expressed in a number of ways depending upon the conditions of experimentation; one expression of this r...
