Abstract

Interferon-inducing activity of «Cerebral», endogenous trophinotropin agent, controlling growth factors of CNS, has been evaluated in human blood leukocytes. «Cerebral» has been shown to induce γ-interferon at a titer of 160–320 IU/ml. Interferon-inducing activity of «Cerebral» may contribute to the correction mechanisms of immune disorders in patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke.
