Studying immunotherapeutic properties of the conjugate based on BCG antigens with betulonic acid in guinea pigs infected with <i>Mycobacterium scrofulaceum</i> by I. N. Koshkin, V. S. Vlasenko, N. A. Dengis

“…The experiment showed that the inoculation of Mycobacterium scrofulaceum into guinea pigs activates cationic proteins and neutrophil myeloperoxidase, and on experiment day 42 (preceded by mycobacteria withdrawal from the body) their concentration reduced to the level of the control group. The vaccine administration induced a more active intracellular phagocyte metabolism during the entire observation period, which resulted in the elimination of nontuberculosis mycobacteria in animals as early as day 7 after treatment with the conjugate. …”
