Biological Activity
Lithium 2-hydroxypropanoate (0.6 μmol/mL (as Li+), 72 h) has no significant effect on the proliferation rate of lymphocytes without PHA stimulation, but slightly increases the proliferation rate of lymphocytes induced by PHA (HY-N7038) (92% compared with 87% in the control group)[1].
