Abstract
Although substances known as immunodulators are usually used to stimulate nonspecific immunity, their mode of action is not well understood. In an effort to clarify this mechanism, we investigated the effect of a lyophilized bacterial extract (Broncho-Vaxom) on experimental infections, on normal or irradiated mice, and on antigen processing.Keywords
