[Levamisole, a chemically defined substance with immunostimulating potential--a review].

G F Staber

    Fortschritte Der Medizin
    |May 13, 1976

    Summary

    Immunostimulation, unlike immunosuppression, is emerging. Levamisole, a defined chemical, is the first systemic immunostimulant, showing effects on animal immunity and human parameters, with clinical results reported.
