title: Effects of lindane exposure on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) immunity. II. In vitro restoration of antibody-secreting cells and lymphocyte proliferation activity by nitrogranulogen after in vivo immunosuppression due to lindane.
abstract: A dose-dependent immunomodulatory effect of Nitrogranulogen (NGG) was observed in vitro on antibody-secreting cells and lymphocyte proliferation in rainbow trout. Because different doses of lindane (10, 50 and 100 mg/kg, injected intraperitoneally) had a depressing effect on the same immune functions, the authors restored them using NGG in vitro.
