Abstract
The selective agonist of type 1 A serotonin receptors 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propyl-amino)tetra-lin (8-OH-DPAT) suppressed the immune response. Intraperitoneal administration of 1 mg/kg 8-OH-DPAT to Wistar rats over 2 days after immunization decreased the count of plaque- and rosette-forming cells on day 5. Our results indicate that type 1A serotonin receptors are involved in the realization of the immunosuppressive effects of the serotoninergic system.
