Abstract
Freund's complete adjuvant prepared by grinding dried, heat killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis with liquid paraffin was investigated for particle size-weight distribution. Variations in the grinding times and preparative procedure had a marked effect on the arthritogenic action of the adjuvant in the rat. A satisfactory response in the injected foot was found only when the particle size was less than 19 microns and a secondary response in the non-injected foot required particles less than 10 microns in diameter.Entities:
