[The effect of chronic social conflicts on the indices of nonspecific resistance in mice].
Male mice C57BL/6J were divided into victors and losers in daily confrontations. After 10 confrontations, the losers developed a leukopenia, a decrease in the Thymus index, protein concentration and immunoglobulins class G, as well as a decrease in the agglutinins titres to the ram erythrocytes in the blood plasma. The same changes occurred to a minimal extent in the victors. The changes seem to reflect a stress sensitivity degree.
