The mechanism of action for its immunostimulating effects is not well understood. It is believed that it restores mediated immune function in periral T-lymcytes and stimulates gocytosis by monocytes. The drug appears to restore depressed immune function rather than to stimulate response to above-normal levels. There are multitudes of medical studies being done with its use in humans and animals, the goal being to attain understanding of its immunomodulating mechanism. The mechanism will be defined,with time. For us, it is enough to know that it does stimulate immune function in fish that are suffering due to parasites or disease.
