Studies on immunomodulatory properties of isoniazid. II. Effect of isoniazid on interleukin 2 production and interleukin 2-receptor expression.
The effect of isoniazid on interleukin 2 production and interleukin 2-receptor expression by phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human T cells was investigated. High concentrations of the drug decreased interleukin 2 production while low doses (10(-5)-10(-6) M) produced a slight increase in interleukin 2 production. Isoniazid did not affect the expression of interleukin 2-receptors on the surface of T cells, except a slight decrease in cells exposed to high levels of the drug.
