title: [The effect of biocarbazine on the indices of humoral and cellular immunity in mice].
abstract: Biocarbazin (5-3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide) when administered in different doses and schedules depressed the primary immune response of mice to erythrocytes (SE). A dose-dependent effect on the immunosuppression degree is revealed. Both the inductive and productive stages of antibody formation are sensitive to the immunosuppressive action of the agent. Under certain conditions biocarbazin induced a sharp suppression of humoral immune response. At the same time, it enhanced significantly the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to SE.
