Changes of some parameters of humoral and cellular immunity in allergy to pollen.
The study of some parameters of humoral and cellular immunity in 45 pollinosis patients and 18 healthy controls, showed a deficit of humoral immunity reflected in a decrease of the IgA and IgG mean values and an increase of the IgM mean values (coefficient of correlation (r): r IgA/IgG = 0.912; r IgM/IgG = -0.316). As regards the cellular immunity the study revealed both a numeric and a functional decrease of the T lymphocytes r Th/Ts = -0.877, showing a deficit of cellular-mediated immunity.
