ASSESMENT OF IMMUNE SYSTEM STATE OF THE INHABITANTS IN CHELYABINSK REGION

Abstract

Abstract. Fifty-three virtually healthy volunteers living in Chelyabinsk Region have been studied, with respect to contents of lymphocyte subpopulations, immunoglobulin concentrations, and the state of neutrophylic granulocytes. The inhabitants of Chelyabinsk Region exhibited decreased contents of CD3+ and CD4+ lymphocytes, along with increased levels of CD95+ cells, as compared with data from other studies. Neutrophilic leukocytes display decreased phagocytic activities and higher ability to produce active oxygen species. Regional standards are proposed for the immunological parameters.
