Abstract:
Lymphocytes isolated from morphine addicted mice show a number of impaired immunological functions. They include Con A stimulated mitogenesis, NK cell activity, plaque forming cell activity and delayed-type of hypersensitivity. In addition, the met-enkephalin and beta-endorphin level in the lymph nodes of addicted mice were also depressed.
