In the experiments on dogs and mice it was shown that indometophene could modify the immune status of the body. Specific and non-specific resistance of mice to E. coli infection increased after indometophene administration. At the same time higher titers of normal anti-salmonella antibodies in mice serum and a higher phagocytic activity of neutrophils in the peripheral blood in dogs were found. The influence of the preparation on the content of the complement and normal antibodies-hemagglutinins was less pronounced. It was suggested that the indometophene ability to bustle immune reactivity of the body played a certain role in the mechanism of its radioprotective effect.
