| Abstract: | Guinea pigs immunized with ribonucleic acid protein fraction from Nocardia asteroides developed high cell-mediated immunity within 2 weeks, as shown by increased macrophage microbicidal activity and macrophage migration inhibition. This immunity protected against intravenous and subcutaneous challenge with N. asteroides and persisted for at least 70 days. |
