Adjuvant activity of the Escherichia coli WF table L-form cytoplasmic membranes.
It was established that the stable E. coli WF+ L-form cytoplasmic membranes (CM) increase the antibody response in rabbit during experimental hyperimmunization with cells of Streptococcus pyogenes A49 and Proteus mirabilis D52. Using the skin-induration test and the reaction for aggregation of macrophages in presence of homologous antigens it was established that CM increase the cell-mediated immunity of guinea-pigs to protein antigens of the same bacterial strains.
