Different inhibitory effects on the mixed leukocyte reaction were noted with sodium aurothiomalate (GSTM) and D-penicillamine (D-Pen) depending on the lymphocyte/macrophage ratio of responder cell populations. GSTM and auranofin strongly inhibited oxy radical generation whereas D-Pen had a selective effect.
