Incubation of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with Ievarrisole increased the ability of those cells to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT). PMM cells from SLE patients treated with levamisole had an increased ability to reduce NBT compared with PMN cells taken before treatment.
