  • Title: [Effect of vitamin A on immunogenesis].
    Author: Pletsityĭ KD, Askerov MA.
    Journal: Vopr Pitan; 1982; (1):38-40. PubMed ID: 7200283.
    Abstract:
    Experiments made on mice, rats and rabbits have shown that administration of vitamin A promotes an increase in the weight of the lymphoid organs, thymus and spleen and stimulates production of the antibody-forming cells by the spleen, as well as that of serum antibodies during immunization with different antigens: sheep red blood cells, influenza virus, tetanus and staphylococcal toxoids. The possible mechanisms that underlie vitamin A action are discussed.
