Immunological investigation of the prelymphoma period in baboons of the Sukhumi monkey stock.
In the "pre-lymphoma" period, some high-risk baboons develop changes in their immunity which is expressed, in particular, in the imbalnace of T-lymphocyte subpopulations, that is, increase in the number of cells of T gamma subpopulation which are carriers of suppressive functions in man. As a reflection of immunological disturbances, increase in the level of antibodies against HVP, apparently as a result of HVP activation, is observed in baboons in the "pre-lymphoma" period.
