Effect of Lysozyme on the Immune Response of Guinea Pigs to the Soluble Phase I Antigen of COXIELLA BURNETII.

Abstract

Pretreatment of guinea pigs with lysozyme prior to vaccination with the phase I antigen of Coxiella Burnetti enhanced antibody response and protection against challenge. An observed effect on macrophage migration suggests that the role of lysozyme includes stimulation of cell-mediated immunity. (Author)
