In this article, we investigated changes of immune functions and immunoregulatory effects of indomethacin on rats with trauma. The results show that spontaneous suppressor T cell activity of spleen significantly increased and Interleukin I production and DNA synthesis capacity of splenocytes markedly decreased in rats with trauma. Indomethacin could markedly improve immune function, decreased spontaneous suppressor T cell activity and prompted Interleukin 2 production and DNA synthesis capacity of splenocytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
