ABSTRACT:
The proteins somatotropin and prolactin are administered to animals in amounts of from about 0.1-24 mg/animal/day to stimulate the immune system by increasing the production of macrophages and augmenting the oxidative metabolism of macrophages. The activated macrophages combat infectious disease causing agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths, and the like and thus are effective in preventing and treating diseases caused by those agents.
