Abstract
A wide range of different strains of anaerobic coryneforms and classical propionibacteria have been surveyed for some of their macrocytostimulant effects (included under this term are the ability to increase the rate of phagocytic uptake of carbon after intravenous injection of the latter into mice, ability to stimulate an increase in lysosomal hydrolases and ability to exert directly a chemotactic stimulus on macrophages) and their ability to increase humoral and cellular immunity when admixed with an immunogen.
