Abstract

Subpopulations of lymphocytes, activation potency of T, B, and NK cells, and cytokine production by immunocompetent cells of peripheral blood were studied in five volunteers subjected to seven-day “dry” immersion. Our results show that staying of a man under conditions of “dry” immersion resulted in a detrimental shift of some indices of the immune and cytokine systems. We found substantial individual differences in the response of the immune system of the subjects to seven-day immersion. These differences indicate individual susceptibility to development of immune reactivity to conditions of changing gravity.
