Abstract
A large variety of substances have the property of regulating the immune system, by increasing or depressing the response to antigens after interaction with suitable cellular components. Recent reviews describe numerous natural and synthetic peptide endowed with immunomodulatory activity (Werner et al., 1986; Werner, 1987).
