We aimed at investigating the influence of clomipramine and selegiline administered in vivo in mice on lymphocyte subsets in lymphoid organs and SRBC-induced humoral immune response. Balb/c mice were given 7 or 14 oral doses (1 mg/kg) of selegiline or clomipramine. Lymphocyte B and T subsets and splenic regulatory T cell (Treg) subset were determined in non-immunized mice 24 and 72 h after the last dose of the drugs. Some mice treated with 7 doses were immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) 2 h after the last dose, and their number of antibody forming cells, haemagglutinin titers and splenocyte subsets were determined. An increase in T lymphocytes and a decrease in B cells were visible in peripheral lymphoid organs, especially after 14 doses of selegiline or clomipramine in non-immunized mice, as well as in spleens of SRBC-immunized mice. The most pronounced change was a decrease in CD4+/CD8+ ratio resulting mainly from an increase in CD8+ subset after seven doses of the drugs in the non-immunized mice. However, it was of a transient nature, as it disappeared after 14 doses of the drugs. The tested drugs only slightly affected thymocyte maturation and did not alter Treg subset. Selegiline and clomipramine transiently stimulated IgG production in SRBC-immunized mice. Both selegiline and clomipramine administered in vivo modulated lymphocyte subsets. This immunomodulatory effect depended on the drug as well as duration of administration.

D002997 Clomipramine A tricyclic antidepressant similar to IMIPRAMINE that selectively inhibits the uptake of serotonin in the brain. It is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and demethylated in the liver to form its primary active metabolite, desmethylclomipramine.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000929 Antidepressive Agents, Tricyclic Substances that contain a fused three-ring moiety and are used in the treatment of depression. These drugs block the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin into axon terminals and may block some subtypes of serotonin, adrenergic, and histamine receptors. However, the mechanism of their antidepressant effects is not clear because the therapeutic effects usually take weeks to develop and may reflect compensatory changes in the central nervous system.
