Key Findings
- Tołpa Torf Preparation (TTP), a low-molecular-weight peat extract registered as an immunomodulating drug in Poland, was tested on human peripheral blood leukocyte cultures
- TTP induced dose-dependent interferon and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production
- The optimal concentration for interferon and TNF response was 10-100 µg/ml
An ex-vivo human leukocyte study showing that Tołpa Torf Preparation (TTP) — the peat-derived immunomodulatory preparation registered in Poland — directly induces interferon and TNF production in human immune cells, within a defined dose window. This is primary human-cell evidence behind TTP’s registered immunomodulator status. Abstract-only sourcing; no full text was located.
