TLDR A lotion with 5% minoxidil boosts the immune response in guinea pigs.

The study investigated the effects of a lotion containing 5% minoxidil on the immune system of guinea pigs. Significant changes were observed in the leukocyte blood count, including increases in eosinophils and monocytes, and a decrease in lymphocytes. The immune response showed a shift towards cells involved in hypersensitivity and immune-allergic reactions. Cellular immunity was enhanced, with increases in CD3, CD4, and CD22 cells, as well as phagocytic activity. These findings suggest that the lotion affects both cellular and humoral immunity, indicating a stimulation of the immune response in the experimental animals.
