Parameters of cell immune response in Wistar and OXYS rats and their behavior in the open field test.
Comparative analysis of the state of the thymus, activity of cell component of the immune system, and open field behavior of Wistar and OXYS rats showed early involution of the thymus in OXYS rats. By morphological picture this involution corresponded to accidental involution and was paralleled by low level of delayed hypersensitivity reaction and by inhibition of motor and exploratory behavior.
