| pubmed-article:2256371 | pubmed:abstractText | Effects of alpha-interferon (alpha-IF) medical preparations on human blood lymphocyte rosette-forming activity was under study. Blood samples from 40 donors and 81 patients with chronic pyoderma, lupus erythematosus, and pemphigus were examined. Interferon preparations alpha-IF for nasal administration and IN-1 and IN-2 (or leukinterferon) for injections were used. The results evidence that IF preparations activities depend on the methods of the preparation synthesis and purification. alpha-IF and leukinterferon most effectively enhanced the lymphocyte ability to spontaneous, early, and active rosette formation. IN-1 was found less active and enhanced only the ability to spontaneous E-rosette formation, but had no effect on early active E-RFC subpopulations. IF preparations elevated the counts of E-RFC anf active RFC only if these levels were lowered; if these values were normal the agents had no effect. | lld:pubmed |
