[Effectiveness of a new "paramunity" inducer (PIND-AVI) for human beings and animals].

Attenuated and by treatment with gamma rays inactivated avian Pox viruses (PIND-AVI) stimulate in man and animals selectively the T-lymphocytes. In this way PIND-AVI helps to repair a reduced reactivity of lymphocytes damaged by cytostatic chemotherapy: The lymphocyte stimulation by phytohemagglutinin could be normalized. In immunodeficient patients PIND-AVI showed very good effects in the treatment of herpes Virus infections.

[Immunostimulating and adjuvant activities of a low molecular weight lipopeptide].

From crude extracts of a Streptomyces strain exhibiting immunopotentiating effects, a tetrapeptide was isolated and its structure established as L Ala leads to D isoGlu leads to L, L Dap comes from Gly. This peptide was devoid of biological activity but its chemical coupling with lauric acid gave a substance endowed with adjuvant and immunostimulating properties. This substance and the corresponding synthetic lauroyltetrapeptide were as active in this respect as the muramyl-dipeptide, thus far considered as the minimal adjuvant-active structure of bacterial cell walls: the presence of a sugar moiety is therefore not a prerequisite for immunopotentiating activities.
