Abstract

The effects of pretreatment of BCG-old tuberculin (OT) to the L cells and the presence of BCG-oldtuberculin in the culture media on the infection of BCG to the cells were studied and the following resultswere obtained:<BR>1. Pretreatment of BCG-old tuberculin to the cells stimulated phagocytosis of Mycobacteria by the Lcells. The phagocytosis rate was increased especially when 10-1 or 10-2 concentration of old tuberculin was.used for treatment to the cells which were cultivated for more than 48 hours.<BR>2. It was demonstrated by the immunological method using skin reaction that BCG old-tuberculin.pretreated was bound to the cells, but it could not be found what kind of effect of tuberculin enhanced thephagocytosis of Mycobacteria by the L cells and that there was any immunological relationship betweentuberculin and bacilli in the case of phagocytosis.
