Abstract

Amphotericin B, an anti-fungal polyene antibiotic, has profound immunomodulating properties in murine systems. Reports of similar effects in man are few. Amphotericin B 2.0 μg/ml reduced phytohemagglutinin-induced 3H-thymidine incorporation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from control of 42,905 to 24,183 (experimental CPM minus control CPM) (p3 cells/well, AMB 87 ± 5 x 103 cells/well; p2 production during 18 hr of incubation from baseline 15.1 ± 2.8 ng/106 cells to 59.4 ± 17.8 ng/106 cells (p
