Effect of in vitro Aica-P treatment on certain cellular immune functions.
The effect of the hepatoprotective agent and protein synthesis stimulator 4-amino-5-imidazole-carboxamide-phosphate on the resynthesis of the "E" receptors of T lymphocytes and on certain immunological functions was investigated in vitro. Aica-P treatment enhanced the resynthesis of the "E" receptors after trypsin digestion and inhibited the blastic transformation of the lymphocytes. The results corroborate the observations that Aica-P is able to enhance protein synthesis and to exert immunomodulatory activity.
