A polysaccharide factor isolated from coconut water, when injected into mice, induces a moderate but statistically significant degree of resistance to experimental tuberculosis. The factor also gives an antigen-antibody reaction with serum from tuberculosis infected guinea pigs showing that it is probably immueogenic.
