Abstract:
When the central nervous system is stimulated, the opioid neuropeptide?-endorphine (?-EP) is liberated into the blood stream. The result of this work showedthat the antigen-presenting capability (APCP) of normal human monocytes (Mon) wasmarkedly enhanced (P0. 05), sug-gesting that the effect of ?-EP was mediated through the opioid receptors on the Mon.
