Use of cell wall-hydrolytic enzymes in studies of the reticuloendothelial-stimulatory properties of Propionibacterium acnes
Vaccines prepared from whole cells of heat-killed Propionibacterium acnes were treated with a variety of enzymes. Only two enzymes, lysozyme and a bacteriolytic enzyme from the common European limpet, Patella vulgata, were able to abrogate the splenomegaly-inducing activity of vaccines. Inactivation...
