## Abstract Objective: To investigate whether mature human articular chondrocytes (AC) exhibit an antiproliferative effect on activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to compare this effect with other cells of mesenchymal origin. Methods: AC from healthy cadaveric cartilage were grow
We have tested the effect of alkaloids (cocaine, morphine) and enkephalins on neutral endopeptidase of peripheral blood mononuclear cells activated by lectins. When treated with concanavalin A and cocaine, peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed an enhanced activity (+110 per cent) of the membrane
