title: [Effect of smoking on the indicators of immunity and the acute-phase reaction in persons professionally exposed to solvents].
abstract: In 156 men, 46 non-smokers, 47 smokers, 19 non-smokers exposed to organic solvents and 41 smokers exposed also to solvents the levels of immunoglobulins, lysozyme, C3c, C4, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, coeruloplasmin and haptoglobins were determined in serum, besides that the counts of circulating T, B and non-T non-B lymphocytes were calculated. A synergistic depressing effect of cigarette smoke and organic solvents was found on certain immunity parameters. This depression was manifested also as changes in the concentrations of IgA, IgD, IgG, lysozyme and T-lymphocyte subpopulations.
