Abstract

This article demonstrates the positive effect of thymostimulin (TP-1) on leucolymphopoiesis in dogs, based on its apparent ability to counteract the immunodepression induced by cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. Thymostimulin administered to healthy cyclophosphamide-treated dogs prevented the initial drop in the values of leucocytes and lymphocytes due to the chemotherapy and restored these values to the higher levels existing before the treatment. In a control group given a placebo instead of TP-1, the immune depression provoked by cyclophosphamide was maintained during all the therapeutic cycles.
