Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Isoprinosine (50 mg/kg i.p.) increased the ear swelling reaction in mice sensitized with trinitrochlorobenzene (picryl chloride) and challenged with the same agent. Enhancements were observed when the drug was administered either simultaneously to the sensitization or to the challenge with picryl chloride. Similar results were obtained when lymphoid cells from sensitized animals were transferred i.v. to normal animals which were then challenged with picryl chloride. Using the same cell transfer system, we found that treatment of cell donors with Isoprinosine (50 mg/kg/ day, i.p.) counteracts the inhibition induced by cyclophosphamide. Isoprinosine (50 mg/kg/day, i.p.) inhibited also the generation of antigen-specific suppressor cells induced by picryl-sulfonic acid as shown by transfer to normal recipients of suppressor cells together with lymphoid cells from sensitized animals. These results indicate that Isoprinosine enhances normal contact sensitivity reactions and can counteract, under certain circumstances, antigen-specific as well as nonspecific immunosuppression. © 1983 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
