[Study of the immunomodulating properties of antibiotics derived from higher plants]

Investigations on screening of immunomodulating substances performed at the Antibiotic Department of the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR were analyzed. The analysis and detailed study of a screened antibiotic performed by the author showed that it was promising to use higher plants as organisms producing immunomodulators. A methodical approach was developed and recommended and graphs for screening immunomodulating agents of various origin were proposed.
