Enkephalins--enhancement of active T-cell rosettes from normal volunteers

G C Miller et al. Clin Immunol Immunopathol. 1984 Apr.

Abstract

Both methionine enkephalin and leucine enkephalin were found to increase significantly the active T-cell rosettes of normal volunteers. Neither enkephalin altered total T-cell rosettes. It is proposed that the endogenous enkephalins (methionine as well as leucine) have a role in cell-mediated immunity and T-cell function.
