Abstract
Corynebacteriumparvum which has recently been reclassified as a Propionibacterium (1) was initially noted for its ability to stimulate the reticuloendothelial system (RES) as manifested by increased clearance of particulate material from the circulation and increased spleen and liver weights (2–5). Since then, the ability of this organism to modify various immune functions has been extensively studied.
