title: Immunosuppressive effect in mycobacterial adjuvant emulsions of mineral oils containing low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
abstract: Bayol F preparations from different commercial sources were incorporated into water-in-oil emulsions containing mycobacterial fractions and a protein antigen. It was found that an adjuvant effect was obtained with some mineral oils and a toxic immunosuppressive effect with others.
