title: Studies on immunomodulatory properties of isoniazid. Influence of isoniazid on responsiveness of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to interleukin-2.
abstract: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells which were "resting" i.e. interleukin-2-receptor-negative were stimulated to proliferate by interleukin-2 in vitro. It was found that isoniazid at concentration of 10(-5)-10(-6) M increased the peak proliferation of "resting" cells but had no influence on the kinetics of proliferation. The mechanism of this effect of isoniazid remains unclear.
