## Abstract Immunomodulators of bacterial origin, such as muramylโdipeptide (MDP) and trehalose dimycolate, are able to stimulate some important biological functions of macrophages, such as their capacity to secrete a monokine, the thymocyte mitogenic protein (TMP), and to limit the growth of masto
## Abstract Inoculation of mice with pyran copolymer resulted in activation of natural killer (NK) cells as well as macrophages. Conditions optimal for the boosting of NK activity seemed to differ from those optimal for macrophage activation as assessed by cytostasis of tumor target cells. Peak lev
## Abstract Treatment of older mice with pyran copolymer, a known interferonโinducer, was found to result in a rapid boosting of cellโmediated cytolytic activity against YACโ1 tumor target cells. The effector cells were characterized as being nonโadherent and were presumed to be natural killer (NK)
