Tolerance and immunomodulating properties of leukinferon for injections were studied in 13 healthy volunteers. The drug was administered by inhalation and intramuscularly in a single dose of 10,000 MU twice daily for 3 days. Intramuscular injections of the drug were accompanied by a number of side effects: pyrogenicity, weakness, headache, that ceased 8-12 hrs after the drug was discontinued. Despite these side effects, the drug was satisfactorily tolerated. Neither viscera nor systemic disorders nor allergic reactions were detected. T-lymphocytes proved to be the most sensitive to the drug. Leukinferon was found to activate the interferon system. The effect was the most marked in respect of IRL-gamma.
