Abstract

Relationships of the T- and B-components of adaptive immunity and the psychophysiological status were studied in 14 volunteers for the experiment with 5-d dry immersion (DI) w/o countermeasures. Comparison of frequency of deviations in immunity parameters of psychologically different subjects demonstrated the highest frequency in non-anxious and extravert individuals on day-5 in DI. These differences in immune reactions as a function of psychological type and temperament point to existence of a neuroimmune typology and, therefore, the necessity of concurrent immunologic and psychological investigations in order to develop separate measures of rehabilitation from and prevention of stress in people with polar psychological status.
