Concentration of haptoglobin (Hpc) in serum of chickens with inflammation and allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was determined. Chickens with aseptic inflammatory state revealed 2.5 times higher concentration of Hpc while in the course of EAE only small increase was observed. Administration of immunomodulator - isoprinosine, resulted in elevation in Hpc level as compared to nontreated chickens.
