title: [Effect of levamisole on hemolysin production in the spleen of rats after chronic administration of thyrotropin].
abstract: Experiments on 40 male Wistar rats were made to study the effect of levamisole on the production of hemolysins in experimental hyperthyrosis. Levamisole (2.5 mg/kg bw) was administered once 1 day before immunization with sheep red blood cells. Levamisole was discovered to appreciably activate hemolysin production in the spleen of rats with experimental hyperthyrosis, which manifested a demonstrable inhibition of immune response. A possible mechanism of levamisole action is suggested.
