Ciprofloxacin was tested for its inhibitory or stimulatory effects on concanavalin A- and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated proliferation (measured by [3H]thymidine uptake) of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and murine splenocytes. Ciprofloxacin did not diminish or enhance mononuclear cell proliferation at concentrations of 5 to 125 micrograms/ml. Further, the proliferative response of splenocytes of mice previously treated with ciprofloxacin (40 mg/kg, twice daily for 5 days) was essentially similar to that of untreated controls.
