APPLICATION OF MODERN STATISTICAL METHODS TO ASSESS THE INTERACTION OF THE INTERFERON STATUS OF FULL-TERM NEONATAL INFANT AND HIS MOTHER

Abstract

Abstract. The analysis of the IFN-status of healthy full-term neonatal infants and their healthy mothers with modern statistical methods was conducted. It was established that the IFN status of healthy full-term neonatal infants differs from the same of their mothers with higher occurrence of IFNs and strengthened induced production of IFNα/β and IFNγ. The statistically significant interaction between indicators of the IFN status of newborns and their mothers has been revealed. The obtained data is important for assessment of nonspecific resistance in system mother–newborn.
