title: [The potentiation of adjuvant arthritis in rats by vasopressin and its V2 agonist].
abstract: Experiments on C57B1/6 mice and Wistar rats have demonstrated that neuropeptide vasopressin inhibits activity of antigen-specific suppressors and potentiates development of adjuvant arthritis. Vasopressin involvement in pathogenesis of autoimmunity is discussed.
