Cell-mediated immunity to Nocardia asteroides induced by its ribonucleic acid protein fraction

T Sundararaj et al. Infect Immun. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

Guinea pigs immunized with ribonucleic acid protein fraction from Nocardia asteroides developed high cell-mediated immunity within 2 weeks, as shown by increased macrophage microbicidal activity and macrophage migration inhibition. This immunity protected against intravenous and subcutaneous challenge with N. asteroides and persisted for at least 70 days.
