    Abstract:
    The effect of bacterial polysaccharide prodigiozan on recovery after single acute blood loss (2.5 per cent of the body weight) was studied on female mice CBA x C57Bl (F1). When administered intravenously in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg to healthy animals without blood loss prodigiozan had no significant effect on erythropoiesis. Prophylactic administration of the drug 24 hours before blood loss promoted more rapid and intensive mobilization of erythropoiesis: increasing of the levels of 59Fe incorporation into the bone marrow erythroid cells and the number of erythroid cells in the spleen as compared to those in nonstimulated animals. This is probably connected with prodigiozan-mediated stimulation of stem hemopoietic cell proliferation.
