title: [The effect of thymosine on the course of experimental influenza infection and antibody production in laboratory animals].
abstract: Thymosine is a preparation isolated from the thymus of calves. It possesses a specific activity stimulating maturation of T lymphocytes in splenocytes of thymectomized guinea pigs and peripheral blood of healthy humans. Thymosine had no effect on the course of severe experimental influenza infection and exerted no regular stimulation of antibody production in rats with asymptomatic influenza infection.
