title: [Adjuvant effects of glucan on antibody formation in swine].
abstract: The effect of glucan, a yeast product isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on the antibody production to the bovine serum albumin and tetanus toxoid was investigated in miniature pigs. A significant stimulation of the immune response to both antigens differing in their thymus dependency was demonstrated during three weeks after the glucan application, by ELISA, in comparison to the untreated controls.
