title: [Effect of pefloxacin on immune response].
abstract: The influence on cellular immune response of different doses of the pefloxacin was studied in vivo as well as in vitro experiments. The pefloxacin in super bactericidal concentrations (2.0 mg/ml and 0.4 mg/ml) possess pronounced supressing effect the T-lymphocyte proliferation in blast transformation reaction. While in concentration 0.08 mg/ml pefloxacin does not show such activity. The pefloxacin in maximal effective concentration (200 mg/kg) suppressed activity in delayed hypersensitivity skin reaction of intact mice towards sheep erythrocytes on 20.3 percent only.
