ABSTRACT
The in vivo effect of some derivatives of aliphatic 2-ketone, undecan –2-one, on humoral immunity in mice were studied. Stimulatory effect on anti-SRBC antibody production was presented by undecan-2-ol, undecan-2-olR(-) enantiomer, undecan-2-ol acetate and undecan-2-one acetals. No effect of S(+) enantiomer of undecan-2-ol was observed. Serum lysozyme level increased in mice inhaled with undecan-2-ol.
