Abstract
Mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis BCG were more resistant than normal mice to ectromelia virus infection. It is suggested that enhanced interferon production in peritoneal exudate cells and spleen cells of BCG-infected mice plays an important role in this resistance.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
