Ref.: (LML) Transfer Factor
From: William Faber, Amersfoort, the Netherlands
Dear Pieter,
In reply to LML 21st October regarding transfer factor it is not clear how transfer factor was defined and how it was prepared.
In our study published in Clin. Exp Immunol. 1979; 35, 45-52. we defined transfer factor as:
- "a dialyzable extract from lymphocytes of sensitized donors" and was prepared
- "according to the method of de Wit et al.(1975)and "2-0ml(= 1u) solution contained an equivalent to 5x10'lymphocytes", and had to be given by injection.
It appears that a different definition of transfer factor is used, and also administered by a different application route: orally. And, therefore, studies cannot be compared.
