[Effect of the activation and blockade of D2 dopamine receptors on the immune response in mice with different types of social behavior].
Activation of D2 dopamine receptors with a selective agonist quinpirol in C57BL/6J mice was found to induce increase in the immune response regardless of the initial psychoemotional state of animals, e. g. in aggressive mice, submissive mice, and mice without victory or defeat experience (control). However, the immune response level in aggressive and submissive mice was significantly higher than that of control animals. At the same time, the blockade of D2 dopamine receptors with haloperidol suppressed immunogenesis in aggressive and control mice, whereas the immune reactions in submissive mice were unchanged. Thus, the effect of activation and blockade of D2 dopamine receptors on immune function is dependent on the initial psychoemotional status of animals which to a greater extent might be provided by the neuromediator pattern of the brain and activity of DA receptors.
