THE EFFECT OF ZYMOSAN AND ENDOTOXIN TREATMENT ON EXPERIMENTAL COXSACKIE B VIRUS INFECTION

摘要

Cold acclimatized and no acclimatized adult albino mice were given varying doses of zymosan or end toxin subcutaneously 48 hours prior to challenge with 20 X l04 plaque forming units of Coxsackie B-l virus intraperitoneally. Neither agent was effective in increasing host resistance and, in some instances, appeared to enhance the disease process.
