[A new possibility for enhancing natural immunity: a radiation-detoxified endotoxin].
Using ionizing radiation the author and co-workers produced a detoxified endotoxin preparation (Tolerin) which seems to be a suitable product for the increase of natural immunity (nonspecific resistance)-including activation of bone marrow in immunosuppressions, immunodeficiencies-protection against various types of shocks-radiation injury, septic/endotoxic shock, etc.- and increase of immunogen effect of antigens (e.g. inactivated virus vaccines) as an immunoadjuvant in human beings and experimental animals.
