Abstract
Summary1) Killed N. asteroids can replace mycobacteria as an adjuvant in the production of (1) skin sensitization to picryl chloride, and (2) isoallergic meningoencephalitis. 2) Killed N. asteroids in water-in-oil emulsion induces a delayed type of sensitization to an extract from this fungus. 3) Killed N. asteroids in water-in-oil emulsion sensitizes to tuberculin. The degree of sensitization is slight when compared with that produced by killed M. tuberculosis in oil.Subsequent Note: Demyelination, conspicuous about blood vessels in the CNS, was demonstrated by Spielmeyer's stain. It was found in paralyzed guinea pigs using N. asteroids or M. tuberculosis or M. butyricum as potentiating agents.
