Abstract
A hypothesis about a correlation between threshold pain sensitivity and antibody production is proposed and experimentally validated. Immunodeficient mouse strains are characterized by a higher threshold sensitivity to pain than animals with a normal immune response. A highly reliable negative correlation between threshold sensitivity to pain assessed by the hot plate test and the number of antibody-producing cells in the spleen after immunization with sheep red cells is observed in 77% of (CBA×C57B1/6) F1 mice examined. The negative correlation is observed both in spontaneous variations of threshold pain sensitivity and during an elevation of this threshold under the effect of preceding nociceptive stimulation.
