Abstract
β-Endorphin in vivo produced different effects on antibody production depending on the administered dose. Blockade of opioid receptors with naloxone (but not naltrindole) abolished the effects of β-endorphin. The peptide activated IL-4 production in vitro via activation of δ-opioid receptors.
