摘要

PURPOSE:A novel drug useful for preventing and remedying mycoplasma pneumonia, containing a killed mold of the genus Mycoplasma and abrin. CONSTITUTION:The titled preventive and remedy containing a killed mold of the genus Mycoplasma and abrin. Abrin is a lectin isolated from seed from Abrus precatorius, a leguminous plant growing naturally in the tropics and the subtropics and a glycoprotein having about 65,000 molecular weight. When a killed mold of the genus Mycoplasma and abrin are administed to a patient with mycoplasma pneumonia, it is found that a cellular immunity reaction is promoted depending upon a dose of abrin, and infection protection effect is increased and development of vaccine is expected. A dose of the killed mold of the genus Mycoplasma is usually 105-1010 per human or animal properly and the minimum amount is 3 ng per human or animal independently of weight.
