title: Immunomodulators isolated from microorganisms.
abstract: Microbial products are surveyed that have an immunoregulatory activity, both from the realm of low-molar-mass compounds and from the group of naturally occurring polymers. The data include in most cases the producer organism or source, a brief chemical characteristic and biological activity. Various groups of substances are compared, the drawbacks attendant on their acquisition and application are pointed out and their advantageous properties are specified.
