Cadmium an inhibitor of lymphocyte transformation and stimulator of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in rats: the role of zinc.

abstract：:Aconitine (ACO) is a highly toxic diterpenoid alkaloid and known to exert the immunomodulatory action. However, whether it has any effects on ion currents in immune cells remains unknown. The effects of ACO and other related compounds on ion currents in Jurkat T-lymphocytes were investigated in this study. ACO suppres...
