title: Possible effects of early separation experiences on subsequent immune function in adult macaque monkeys.
abstract: The authors studied the immunological influences of maternal or peer separation in adult monkeys. Monkeys with early separation experiences were found to have reduced proliferative responses to B and T cell mitogens but no differences in other immunological parameters compared with nonseparated control subjects.
