Maiti PK*, Das S, Ghosh T and Dey R
Background: Selective inâÂÃ?Â?ÂÃ?Â?vivo antiâÂÃ?Â?ÂÃ?Â?fungal action of potassium iodide (KI) is an enigma, but circumstantial evidences strongly indicate some immune mechanism. Aim: Study was to demonstrate inâÂÃ?Â?ÂÃ?Â?vitro immuneâÂÃ?Â?ÂÃ?Â?modulating role of KI. Materials and Methods: In identical test conditions keeping appropriate control, different immunological tests were performed with and without 0.1% effective concentration of KI. i) Sera from Coombs positive mothers were treated with O, RhâÂÃ?Â?ÂÃ?Â?positive erythrocyte suspensions along with Coombs’ sera (CS)/Bovine albumin (BA)/KI. ii) Amboceptor and complement (C) mixtures were titrated for hemolysis with or without KI. iii) Suspension of Salmonella Typhi with positive sera from enteric cases and ..
