Method and apparatus for transferring microorganisms through the skin barrier

摘要

Method and system for transferring microorganisms through the skin barrier are described. The system comprises a pair of electrodes connected to a source of continuous current, a nutrient solution containing microorganisms and an impregnating spongy support located between at least one of the electrodes and the skin barrier. The microorganisms in the nutrient solution pass through the skin barrier under the action of an electrical field created by the electrodes. The method has application in the immunological treatment of tumorous diseases by means of Immuno-B.C.G.
