Abstract
High molecular levan (polyfructoside) inhibits the skin tuberculin reaction in guinea pigs as judged by the degree of induration and erythema. The effect is dose-dependent. No effect on cellular infiltration was observed in histological studies. The lymph nodes of levan-treated animals were smaller and exhibited a much milder granulomatous reaction than those of non-treated animals.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
