The Effects of Silymarin and Cyclosporine A on the Proliferation and Cytokine Production of Regulatory T Cells.

abstract：:Drug abuse has become a global health concern. Understanding how drug abuse modulates the immune system and how the immune system responds to pathogens associated with drug abuse, such hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), can be assessed by an integrated approach comparing proteomic analys...
