Having carried out a number of studies in this direction, Prof. A. A. Maksimov was convinced that BCG bacilli differ from bovine tbc bacilli in their much weaker virulence. The main role in the tissue protective reaction against tbc infection belongs to polyblasts and their transformation products-epithelioid and giant cells, which develop partly from histiocytes, partly from non-grain leukocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes.
