Comparison of the restoration effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, BCG and poly I: poly C on cancer patients non responsive to recall antigen delayed hypersensitivity.
A preparation of 10 serotypes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has restored skin delayed hypersensitivity reactions to recall antigens in about fifty per cent of cancer patients not previously immunodepressed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but anergic. This proportion is similar to that obtained by given modalities of administration of BCG, C. parvum or levamisole, while other modalities of application of BCG or administration of poly I: poly C do not induce such an immuno-restoration in a significant number of patients.
