The comparative analysis of the data on the expression of the same modulating protein MX, obtained on the same biological materials by Western blotting and surface plasmone resonance tests was shown to provide in most cases a semiquantitative opinion as to modulation of MX affinity to its specific target (effector X protein) under the experimental action of F. This is doubtlessly to offer additional possibilities for the prediction and differential diagnosis of a number of diseases, including cancer.

Change-over from one to another mode of reaction is conditioned, most probable, by hormonal status, which is determined by one or another estral cycle phase. Biochemical mechanisms of this change-over are closely connected with polyamines metabolism, namely the degree of polyamines (especially spermine) interconvertion and physiological reactivity level of the system controlling expression of ornithin-decarboxilase.

In two populations of contemporary generations of non-strain mice was found a considerable shift of interhemispheric asymmetry the relative activity of the right hemisphere being increased in comparison with the known data. Quantitative evaluation and the character of this shift in the two populations were different. Changes observed are suggested to be a manifestation of adaptive response of the organism to environmental pollution.

Administration of a M-anticholinergic agent in low dose at the key stages of chronic influenza infection development was followed by a nearly complete suppression of its cocarcinogenic action. N-anticholinergic agents failed to exert such effect.
