title: [Immunocorrective action of tuftsin during exposure to ionizing radiation].
abstract: The effect of the tetrapeptide tuftcin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) on the humoral immune response in CBA mice exposed to sublethal irradiation in a dose of 450 sGy was studied. The drug was injected intraperitoneally for 5 days before (series I) or after (series II) radiation exposure. It has been shown that taftcin has no protective action but decreases considerably the immune response lowering due to radiation.
