Transfer factor for the practicing allergist-immunologist

S L Warren

    Annals of Allergy
    |August 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Transfer factor, derived from human lymphocytes, shows promise as an immunostimulant for treating immunological diseases. This method allows clinical allergist-immunologists to produce it in their labs for selected cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Understanding immunological disease mechanisms at the cellular level is advancing.
    • Clinical allergist-immunologists require tools for cellular manipulation, including immunosuppression and immunostimulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the characteristics of transfer factor.
    • To describe a method for producing crude transfer factor.

    Main Methods:

    • Human lymphocytes are used as the source for transfer factor.
    • A detailed, simple production method is described.
    • No specialized equipment is required.

    Main Results:

    • Transfer factor can be produced in a crude form.
    • The production method is accessible for clinical laboratories.
