[The autoimmune changes in children living in areas contaminated by radionuclides after the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
A study of the blood sera of 50 children from the zone contaminated by radionuclides due to the Chernobyl accident was conducted to determine the immune status (level of immunoglobulin of Ig classes (A,M,G), presence of serum autoantibodies, determination of active anti-Sm antibody zones). A statistically valid increase of the IgM and IgG, reduction IgA levels was found. Antibodies to thyroid, smooth muscles, parietal cells, mitochondria were not found; 7% of patients showed autoantibodies to DNA and antinuclear factor.
