[The mutagenic and antimutagenic effects of immunomodulators].
In animal experiments (albino rats), stimulating and suppressive effects were studied of immunomodulating agents on the processes of chemical mutagenesis. Combination of different immunodepressants hardly ever intensifies cyclophosphamide-induced chromosomal rearrangement in rat bone marrow cells, with heparin exerting an antimutagenic effect, while corticosterone, when being administered at an augmented dose, appeared to enhance cyclophosphamide's mutagenic action. One-stage administration of immunostimulants and cyclophosphamide tended to weaken antimutagenic defence of cell genetic apparatus.
