Suppression of the induction of delayed hypersensitivity in rats by repetitive morphine treatments.

N R Pellis, C Harper, N Dafny.   

Abstract

Previous in vitro experiments suggest that lymphocyte function may be altered in the presence of opiates. The effect of morphine treatment upon specific T lymphocyte function in vivo was investigated in rats. Following morphine treatment, rats were incapable of responding to immunization with the T-dependent antigens of Mycobacterium bovis, strain BCG. The absence of a delayed hypersensitive skin response to tuberculin in chronic morphine-treated rats supports the hypothesis that opiates may interact with the cells of the immune system. A potential communication between the nervous system and cells of the immune system is proposed.
