In Vitro Use Guide
Phytohaemagglutinin stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes, NK and K cells were incubated with different concentrations of the drug (0, 1.2, 6.0, 24, 60, 240, and 600 x 10(-7) M) and the immunosuppressive effect was measured. Deflazacort suppressed the cells in a dose dependent way.
