Abstract

Fractionation of unheated bacillary extract of BCG has yielded a carbohydrate fraction which sensitizes bentonite to react with circulating antibodies to M. tuberculosis in human sera. This fraction does not contain tuberculin-like protein material in appreciable amount, but is rather a mixture of carbohydrates, varying in molecular size and all possessing bentonite-sensitizing activity.
