DEL VALLE PEREZ, Lázaro O et al. Effect in vitro of Ateromixol on the human lymphocytes and neutrophiles. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2007, vol.23, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2996.

Ateromixol is a product developed by the National Center of Scientific Research and commercialized by Delmer Laboratories of Havana City . Its active principle is polycosanol, which is composed of a mixture of primary aliphatic higher alcohols obtained from the wax of Saccharum officinarum L. The effect in vitro of Ateromixol, known as PPG, on the lymphocytes and neutrophiles of 15 voluntary blood donors with diagnosis of cellular immunodeficiency was studied by the lymphoblastic transformation test, with the use of tritiated timidine, the active rosette technique and the phagocytic function test. No significant differences were observed in the statistical analysis of the experimental conditions without Ateromixol and with dilutions from 500 m g/mL to 3.90 m g/mL

Keywords : Blastic transformation; active rosette; lymphocytes; phagocytic function.
