title: [Specific features of humoral immunity and nonspecific resistance in pilots].
abstract: Immune responses of the flying personnel to adverse flight effects were investigated. Altogether 134 pilots in the age of 22 to 42 years were examined. A significant decline of IgA, IgM, IgG, C3, alpha-antitrypsin, and R-proteins was found. Correlation analysis of over 100 anthropometric, psychophysiological, immune parameters as well as questionnaire data helped identify correlates and develop mathematical models which included IgA and IgM as parameters. Analysis shows that there is a relationship between personality features and humoral immunity of pilots: emotional strain increases, emotional stability decreases while immunoglobulins decline. In response to flight effects, changes in physiological functions, personality features, humoral immunity, and nonspecific resistance were interrelated.
