Abstract
It is well established by blood clearance experiments that treatment by BCG stimulates the RES and increases the resistance to tumors (1,2) and various bacterial (3,4) or viral (5) infections. However, paradoxically, this same treatment renders the host more susceptible to the lethal effect of endotoxins (6,7).
