[Changes in the blastogenic lymphocyte transformation during kindling induced by picrotoxin in rats].

Picrotoxin-induced kindling was shown to suppress the blastogenic response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide and phytogemagglutinin in male Wistar rats. The delta-sleep-inducing peptide as well as carbamazepine prevented the epileptogenic effects of picrotoxin. Carbamazepine was also effective against decreasing of phytogemagglutinin-induced blastogenic response.
