title: [Splenopentin--modulator of immunological and behavioral reactions in secondary immunodeficiency state induced by experimental alcoholism].
abstract: Effect of splenopentin on some patterns of immunity was studied in mice with chronic alcoholic intoxication. Splenopentin was administrated into animals once intraperitoneally (250 micrograms/kg). Administration of splenopentin was found to normalize several immunological patterns in animals with chronic alcoholic intoxication: the immune response to the thymus-dependent antigen sheep red blood cells and phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. Also observations over C57B1/6 mice characterized by high level of alcoholic motivation showed that alcohol consumption in mice decreased after administration of splenopentin at a dose of 250 micrograms/kg during two weeks.
