Mechanism underlying the effect of myelopeptides on lymphocyte proliferation in vitro

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2005 Jul;140(1):74-6. doi: 10.1007/s10517-005-0415-y.

Abstract

We studied the role of monocytes in the effect of myelopid and myelopeptides MP-1, MP-3, MP-5, and MP-6 on functional activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in the reaction of blast transformation. Myelopeptides MP-1, MP-3, and MP-6 suppressed blast transformation of lymphocytes. The effect depended on the presence of monocytes in a cell culture.
