[Antireticular cytotoxic serum as an agent for stimulating the immunity system]. / Antiretikuliarnaia tsitotoksicheskaia syvorotka kak sredstvo stimuliatsii sistemy immuniteta.

The changes in the immunological indices characterizing the T and B immunity system and also in biological resistance of atherosclerosis patients were studied under conditons of the use of the antireticular cytotoxic serum microdoses. A possibility of employing the ACS for stimulation of the immune system was demonstrated.

[Relation of atherogenesis and T-immunodeficiency]. / Vzaimosvia'z aterogeneza i T-immunodefitsita.

Experiments on rabbits have shown that state of T-immunodeficiency induced by persisting virus infection promotes atherogenesis. Correction of age immunodeficiency by transplantation of the autologous bone marrow taken in young age considerably retards the atherosclerosis development. Inhibition of atherogenesis is also achieved by introduction (to animals) of natural thymic vilosene preparation which compensates a decrease in the functional activity of the thymus gland occurring under conditions of experimental hyperlipidemia.
