title: [The current position of the transfer factor investigation (author's transl)].
abstract: This critical review has attempted to describe the current knowledge about the preparation and characterisation of transfer factor, the biological assays, and the tendency to therapy of patients with immunodeficiencies, chronic infectious diseases, and neoplastic diseases on the basic of results of the two last years. Hypotheses for the mechanism of functional activities of transfer factor are discussed.
