Mechanism Underlying the Effect of Myelopeptides on Lymphocyte Proliferation in Vitro

Abstract

We studied the role of monocytes in the effect of myelopid and myelopeptides MP-1, MP-3, MP-5, and MP-6 on functional activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in the reaction of blast transformation. Myelopeptides MP-1, MP-3, and MP-6 suppressed blast transformation of lymphocytes. The effect depended on the presence of monocytes in a cell culture.
