[Lysozyme as a modulator of immunological reactions]

Effect of lysozyme on some immunochemical reactions was studied, involving rosette-developing properties of T lymphocytes and lymphocyte adhesion. The rosette-forming activity of the cells was shown to increase after addition of lysozyme in vitro as well as after treatment with lysozyme in vivo. Participation of lysozyme in activation of complement via various pathways is considered.
