ABSTRACT
A thymic hormone baptized as thymostimulin coming from children aged between 5-10 years who died after car accidents was obtained by Sephadex G-50 column fractionation. This polypeptide was incubated with atopic and non-atopic human lymphocytes. The level of IL-4 in the supernatant was measured by ELISA. The atopic lymphocytes stimulated by the thymostimulin produced a great quantity of IL-4 (p>0.000001) in comparison with those coming from non-atopic patients. Thus, we postulate that thymic hormones should not be used in the treatment of allergic conditions with high levels of IL-4. The function of this polypeptide was compared with that of bovine timomodulin, which showed lower level of IL-4 (p>_ 0.001).
