[The isolation of a transfer factor of the delayed-hypersensitivity type to the antigenic substances of Staphylococcus aureus in guinea pigs].

Abstract

Immunoactivating effects of guinea pig's staphylococcal Transfer factor (TF) were studied in homologous and heterologous (human leukocytes) systems. In vivo (skin tests) and in vitro (Inhibition of leukocytes migration) tests showed that our TF is able to activate intact as well as sensibilized cells. Antigen-specific properties of TF also were showed.
