Effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol on mouse spleens

S S Lefkowitz et al. Res Commun Chem Pathol Pharmacol. 1975 Aug.

Abstract

A study was undertaken to ascertain the effects of delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol on the plaque forming cell response of mice immunized with sheep erythrocytes. It was found that a marked suppression of plaque forming cells occurred concomitant with a general loss of spleen cellularity following administration of delta-9-THC. These results suggest rather marked effects of this drug on antibody synthesis.
