Abstract

The article presents the methods of obtaining, purification and fractionation of human and animal preparations of transfer factor immune sensibilization. The similarity in molecular masses and gelchromatography elution profiles has been shown. Using etectrophoresis in polyacrilamide gel it has been demonstrated that such substances are contained in fractions with the molecular mass lower than 14.4 kDa.
