Abstract
Immunoregulatory material derived from Mycobacterium vaccae, especially dead cells of M. vaccae, are useful for the treatment of pathological conditions (other than mycobacterial disease and arthritic disease) in a patient in which the patient's IgG shows an abnormally high proportion of agalactosyl IgG and for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders (other than an arthritic disease) caused or accompanied by an abnormally high release from macrophages of interleukin-6 and/or tumor necrosis factor.
