Selective action of chorionic gonadotropin on lymphocyte subpopulations

: Influence of chorionic gonadotropin on induction and formation of specific T-suppressors, TDTH-effectors and spontaneous killer cells, depending on its doses and schema of injections was studied. It is shown that chorionic gonadotropin has a stimulating effect on precursors of T-suppressors, not affecting the mature specific T-suppressors, causes damage to the TDTH-effectors and spontaneous killer cells, that permits chorionic gonadotropin to be recognized as an immunomodulating agent.
