Abstract

In an in vitro model of cellular immunity, the antibacterial product of immunologically mediated mononuclear cell activation was studied from guinea pigs infected with listeriae and rickettsiae and compared with the product previously described from animals infected with mycobacteria. We found that this product, active against gram-positive bacilli, appeared to be identical in the three different infections with regard to its heat stability, its chromatographic adsorption and elution pattern, its susceptibility to inactivation by proteolytic enzymes, and its antibacterial spectrum
