Antisuppressant activity of aclarubicin, an anthracycline antibiotic, was studied on models of immunodepression induced in vivo by concanavalin A or associated with progressive tumor growth. In vivo in a dose of 2.5 mg/kg aclarubicin markedly lowered or completely eliminated the ability of concanavalin A to induce activity on the suppressor cells in the mouse spleen. In vitro in doses of 0.0001 to 0.01 micrograms/ml aclarubicin decreased the suppressing activity of the splenocytes from mice with solid tumors in regard to spontaneous proliferation of the lymphoid cells. |
