title: Preliminary characterization in mice of the effect of isoprinosine on the immune system.
abstract: A preliminary characterization of the immunomodulatory activity of isoprinosine in mice was conducted in both normal and tumor-bearing mice. Under the experimental conditions employed, isoprinosine given ip and orally was found to possess some immunomodulatory capacity in various  model systems. The compound appeared to preferentially influence T- but not B-cell responses; it did not apparently influence the functional capacity of macrophages, K cells, and NK cells.
