Abstract

Cyclosporin A depresses the synthesis of gamma interferon by human thymocytes and T lymphocytes in vitro. This observation is of potential clinical significance because the long-term treatment of transplant patients with cyclosporin A, a widely used immunosuppressive agent, can give rise to B-cell lymphoma resulting from Epstein-Barr virus activation.
