a hog-water extract from delipidated Mycobacterium bovis strains BCG was fractionated by precipitation with ethanol. The chemical and biological properties of the subfractions thus obtained were investigated. A subfraction precipitated at 20% ethanol contained less neutral sugar and more ninhydrin-positive substance than other subfractions. Only the guinea pigs that were treated with 20% ethanol-precipitate showed no humoral antibody response to egg white albumin, despite positive skin reaction. The subfractions precipitated at low concentrations of ethanol exhibited a significant antitumor activity in ddY and C3H He mice inoculated intraperitoneally with tumor cells. These results suggest that the hot-water extract from delipidated BCG consists of subfractions with different chemical and biological properties.

D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.
