Abstract

Two cases of visceral leishmaniasis in children are described. In both "in vitro" lymphocyte response to mitogens and allogeneic cells was initially markedly depressed, but returned to normal within a few days after six days of treatment with N-methylglucamine antimonate; in one the candidin skin test reverted from negative to positive after treatment and in the other a circulating serum factor was found which strongly inhibited phytohemagglutinin--and mixed--responsiveness of normal lymphocytes, but disappeared after therapy.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
