Abstract

There has been studied the influence of a number of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents (NSAID ) on the humoral immune response of mice in immunization with erythrocytic and viral antigen. It has been found out that NSAID have immunomodulating effect, stimulating humoral immune response (4-iodantipyrine, 4-bromantipyrine) or suppressing it (butadione, sodium salicylate). Apparently the mechanism of NSAID ++ immunostimulating effect is related to the inhibition of T-suppressors ++ function by the latter ones.
