    Abstract:
    Thymus-dependent immunity as well as thymic factor and corticosteroid influence upon it were studied in 36 patients with disseminated sclerosis. The illness was diagnosed according to the Poser system with the help of the spontaneous erythrocyte rosette test. The sensitivity of T lymphocytes to thymaline, to basic myelin protein and to prednisolone was analyzed. The Soviet drug thymaline, obtained from calf thymus, was first used for the treatment of disseminated sclerosis. Clinical and immunological results turned out positive. The possibility of differential immunomodulating therapy of disseminated sclerosis is shown.
