  • Title: Modification of the tuberculin reaction by levan.
    Author: Shezen E, Leibovici J, Wolman M.
    Journal: Br J Exp Pathol; 1978 Oct; 59(5):454-8. PubMed ID: 718799.
    Abstract:
    High molecular levan (polyfructoside) inhibits the skin tuberculin reaction in guinea pigs as judged by the degree of induration and erythema. The effect is dose-dependent. No effect on cellular infiltration was observed in histological studies. The lymph nodes of levan-treated animals were smaller and exhibited a much milder granulomatous reaction than those of non-treated animals.
