title: Immune response in thermally injured guinea-pigs treated with methisoprinol.
abstract: A series of experiments has been performed in order to evaluate the effects of methisoprinol on immune response following thermal injury. Methisoprinol treatment induced a sharp stimulation of the cell-mediated immune response in burned animals. This finding demonstrates that methisoprinol may be useful in burns to prevent infections related to immune depression.
