Abstract
The effect of 3 different doses of chronically-administered morphine on the primary immune response was studied in mice by estimating spleen/body weight ratio and serum hemolysin production against sheep red blood cells (SRBC). It was observed that morphine exerted a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the immune response which was antagonized by the concomitant administration of naloxone. The findings suggest that the inhibitory effect of morphine is specific.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
