 Ge-132 Improves Immunity Following Surgery
The effect of 2-carboxyethylGermanium sesquioxide (Ge-132) as an interferon inducer on post-surgical immunosuppression was evaluated from the immuno-logical response augmented in canine neutrophils, macrophages, and peripheral blood lymphocytes, with a control group. Those in the Ge-132-administered froup (Ge-132 group) were enhanced for a long time after surgery. These results suggest that Ge-132 pre-treatment may be efficacious and useful in preventing the multifaceeted clinical symptoms induced by post-operative immunosuppression in these test animals.
