Induction and expression of cell-mediated immune responses in inbred mice infected with Coccidioides immitis.

abstract：:Several strains of gram-negative bacteria (seven genera, eight species) isolated from patients with urinary tract infections were found to hydrolyze myeloma immunoglobulin A (IgA) protein. Human IgG and IgM and colostrum IgA were not degraded by these organisms. Examination of cleavage digests showed two fragments of ...
