Positive and negative immunomodulation by opioid peptides.
The data that follow review part of the existing evidence concerning the neuroimmune functions mediated by opioid peptides, with particular regard to dual immunomodulatory effects. Limited references to substances other than opioid peptides are included, mainly to emphasize the possible similarities in the mediation of neuroimmune interactions by different informational substances, while the interactions directed from the immune to the nervous system have deliberately been omitted.
