The intracorneal method of testing antituberculous substances was introduced by Gardiner, Rees, and Robson in 1949. This method gave in vivo results, while at the same time was relatively simple to perform, and gave unique opportunity for observation of the tuberculous lesion in comparison with a control lesion. This method involved the use of virulent bovine variety of Mycobacterium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
