Abstract
As established in this work, the development of postvaccinal antituberculosis immunity, caused by the BCG injection, was associated with the phased changes of nonspecific body reactivity. This is the result of the phased changes of the nervous mechanism reactivity. This was demonstrated by the experimental study of the leukocyte reaction occurring in response to the intramuscular injection of defatted milk (2 ml). The reaction studied underwent the following changes after the vaccination: during the first 20 days its value increased greatly, and then within the subsequent 2.5 months it approached the initial level and often showed a considerable reduction by the end of the observation period (by the 90th day). The range of individual differences in the response to leukocytic reactions also altered considerably. At the same time the initial background composition of leukocytes became stabilized after the vaccination.
