Increased splenocyte proliferative response and cytokine production in β-endorphin-deficient mice

We used β-endorphin-deficient mice as a novel approach to confirm the physiological role that opioid peptides play in the development or regulation of the immune system. We found that mice lacking β-endorphin possessed an enhanced immune response, measured in terms of splenocyte proliferation and in...
