[Immunotropic activity of human alpha1-glucoprotein].

Experiments were conducted to study the effect of alpha-acid glycoprotein on a fatal infection caused by Pseudomonas pyocyanea, growth of melanoma B-16, and transplantation of a skin graft from C57BL/6 mice to CBA mice. Injection of the agent significantly increased the anti-infection resistance in mice, suppressed growth of melanoma-16, and prolonged the survival of the skin grafts, which was evidence of marked glycoprotein immunomodulating activity.
