    Journal: Recenti Prog Med; 1990 Jan; 81(1):29-32. PubMed ID: 2236822.
    Abstract:
    The immunological in vivo effects of thymopentin (TP5) treatment in eleven hypo-anergic patients affected with chronic bronchitis are reported. Significant improvement of cellular immunity, evaluated by skin tests, and an increase of percentage of CD4+ cells and natural killer activity are demonstrated. The clinical evaluation showed an evident reduction of infectious episodes of acute bronchitis after TP5 treatment.
