title: Restoration of the impaired lymphocyte stimulation in old people by thymopoietin pentapeptide.
abstract: The number of E-rosette forming cells was normal in old people with minor pathology, but the lymphocyte stimulation by concanavalin A was decreased. A single administration of thymopoietin pentapeptide 10 mg I.M. enhanced the impaired lymphocyte stimulation.
