Abstract
Two transfer factors have been prepared in an animal model system, the guinea pig. They are both small molecules, derived from the leukocytes of immunologically experienced individuals, and capable of transferring information for specific immune responses to naive individuals.
Keywords: delayed hypersensitivity immune response, leukocyte extracts, transfer of immunological information, guinea pig
