title: [Effect of Ribomunyl therapy on production of selected cytokines by mononuclear peripheral blood cells in nonatopic bronchial asthma].
abstract: In a group of 14 patients with nonatopic bronchial asthma, with recurrent infections of airways (approximately 5 - 10 episodes/year) and in 9 healthy persons the effect of Ribomunyl on IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6 production by mononuclear peripheral blood cells were assessed. After Ribomunyl treatment in asthmatics the significant decrease in IL-1 beta and IL-6 production by monocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and significant increase in IL-2 production by lymphocytes were observed.
