Abstract

Experiments on Wistar rats showed that subacute poisoning with anticholinesterase toxicants zarin and agent VX (daily subcutaneous injections in 1/7 LD50 for 6 days) led to suppression of cellular and humoral immune reactions and to a decrease in blood concentrations of cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IFN-gamma) with a reduction of the IFN-gamma/IL-4 and IL-2/IL-4 ratios, which attests to more pronounced decrease in Th1 lymphocyte function in comparison with Th2 cells.
