title: Modulation of human T lymphocyte functions by isoprinosine.
abstract: Isoprinosine was shown to alter certain T cell functions. In vitro, it has previously been shown to induce suppressor cell activity in both mouse and human lymphocytes. Our in vitro results suggest that Isoprinosine acts on immune balance by increasing the number of non-suppressor T cells and, at least partially blocks Con A induced suppressor activity. In vitro NK activity remained unaltered.
