[The effect of the immunomodulator glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide on hematopoiesis in mice with experimental cytopenia].

Simulation of cytopenia by injection of cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg) or by exposure to ionizing radiation (4 Gy) was shown to cause in mice similar, by the severity and rate of development, transient inhibition of haemopoiesis which was somewhat more persistent after irradiation. Glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide applied after the above effects promoted the haemopoiesis recovery.
