    Abstract

    Transfer factors are remarkable substances that appear to transmit immunologic information from "educated" leukocytes to "naive" leukocytes. This general discussion outlines the strategy by which these immune system activators are being studied from the standpoint of basic science and how they are being tested as agents for immunotherapy.
