title: [The effect of beta-carotene on interleukin-2 production and mitogen-induced proliferation of T-lymphocytes].
abstract: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) production followed by with aftereffect of the immunosuppressive agent hydrocortisone and mitogen-induced proliferation of T lymphocytes were studied in the presence of artificial beta-carotene. Treatment of CBA mice with the drug was performed within various periods. beta-Carotene was found to elevate IL-2 secretion and the effect was both time- and dose-dependent. The drug removed immunosuppression developed after intraperitoneal administration of hydrocortisone. At the same time, beta-carotene stimulated mitogen-induced proliferation of T cells, which was dose-dependent.
