title: [The effect of Shigella sonnei strains opposite in their virulence on different links in the immune system].
abstract: For the first time different action of S. sonnei strains, opposite in their virulence, on hematopoiesis and the functional activity of T- and B-lymphocytes has been shown. The hematopoiesis-disturbing action of virulent shigellae is manifested by their capacity, more pronounced than similar capacity of an avirulent (vaccine) strain, for stimulating the processes of endo- and exocolony formation, the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and their migration to the blood. The effect produced by shigellae on T-cell-mediated immune response is manifested by the suppression of macrophage migration and its subsequent activation, whose manifestations and duration depend on the virulence of S. sonnei strains under study. The modulating effect of S. sonnei on B-cell-mediated immune reactions is manifested by the inhibiting action of S. sonnei virulent strain and the stimulating action of S. sonnei vaccine strain on the formation of antibody-producing cells synthesizing S. sonnei lipopolysaccharide antibodies shortly after the injection of shigellae. The results of this study indicate that S. sonnei virulent and avirulent (vaccine) produce multifunctional and differing effects on cell-mediated immune reactions, these processes being dependent on the virulence of shigellae and their individual specific antigens.
