The effects of microbacterial mycolic acids on rodent tuberculosis and adjuvant arthritis
Mycolic acids, the characteristic, abundant waxes of the cell wall of Mycobacteria were purified by Counter Current Distribution (CCD) from alkaline methanolytic crude extracts of bacteria, aiming at investigating their role in eliciting immune responses. Crude mycobacterial cell-wall extracts were...
