  • Title: Effects of levamisole on the immune responses of experimentally malnourished rats.
    Author: Olusi SO, Jessop WJ, Shoroye A.
    Journal: Pediatr Res; 1979 Nov; 13(11):1237-9. PubMed ID: 117421.
    Abstract:
    Levamisole (Ketrax), and anthelmintic drug commonly used in the tropics, has been found to restore the impaired spontaneous rosette-forming lymphocytes and delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions in experimentally malnourished rats. It, however, has no effects on plaque-forming cells. The drug was also found to reconstitute the histologic integrity of the thymus in malnutrition.
