The data on influence of different doses of ceruloplasmin on the autoimmune myosine-induced myocardial damage like dilated car-diomyopathy obtained on the mouse model are presented. The level of autoantibodies directed against the human and mouse myosins has been examined. The cardiomyocites morphological injures have been revealed by a hystochemical assay at different stages of the disease progression. We have shown dose-depended cardioprotective and immunomodulating effects of ceruloplasmin.
