Effect of the Complex <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> Preparation and Immunomodulators upon Functional Activity of the Phagocytic System under the Experiment
The results presented in the work expand our knowledge about the regularities of interactions among microbial and phagocytic cells and outline the directions for the investigations into the mechanisms determining the formation of macroorganism's resistance to the anthrax pathogen. A chemically bound immunogenic complex of cell walls and B. anthracis antigens was designed for the first time. Immunomodulating activities of arabinogalactan and squalene were tested to show these preparations as useful means of correcting the functional state of the mononuclear phagocytic system during contact with the anthrax agent.
