ABSTRACT:
The present inventor discloses a description of the preparation of ICAPs for use in diagnosis, methods of prevention and prophylaxis of interstitial cystitis. The forms can be cultivated in high concentrations of serum, they can be visualized in a light microscope, they have a characteristic morphology in an electron microscope, and they are immunogenic and antigenic.
