title: [Tuberculin-dependent and nonspecific migration activity of leukocytes in astronauts].
abstract: There have been presented the results of studying the reactivity of leucocytes with respect to tuberculin and monspecific migration activity of leukocytes in the cosmonatus pre flight and after completion of orbital expeditions of various duration are presented. In some cosmonauts tuberculin rearranged migration of leukocytes. This may bear witness to activisation of the immunity system in response to the antigens which had been already familiar to test-subjects. Experimental data pointed to significant changes in leukocyte mobility in 12 out of 28 cosmonauts examined on days 1 and 7-14 of recovery after the first or repeated long-duration space missions indicating some functional disorders in the phagocytic link which may lead to a typical decline in human resistance to infections.
