[The effect of recombinant tumor necrosis factor on antibody formation in mice immunized with a preparation of the outer membranes from Francisella tularensis].

The influence of exogenic human recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) on antibody production in mice immunized with the preparation of F.tularensis outer membranes (OM) was studied. TNF-alpha was injected into mice in doses of 0.

[The activity of NK and K cells in mice vaccinated against plague].

The activity of NK and K cells in mice immunized against plague has been studied. This activity has been shown to depend on the dose of the vaccine and the time elapsed after immunization. The booster immunization of mice leads to an increase in the specific sensitization of lymphocytes, the antibody level and to an increase in the activity of killer cells.

[The activity of NK and K cells in people vaccinated and revaccinated against plague].

Changes in the activity of NK and K cells in persons immunized against plague have been studied. A decrease in the activity of natural killer cells has been shown to occur. Booster immunization leads to a greater increase in the specific sensitization of lymphocytes, as well as in the antibody level.
