[The adaptation of the human immune system during an ecological disaster]
Abstract:
This article studies the adaptative mechanisms of the immune system of servicemen in the Aral Sea region in response to the influence of unfavourable xenobiotic factors of the environment. The greatest homeostatic shifts were disclosed in servicemen of the 2nd and the 4th periods of service (6 months and 2 years of active duty correspondingly). Precisely these periods of selective service have the highest infectivity index. It is recommended to measure the volume of catabolic products of cell receptors (P-proteins) in order to obtain an integral index which could characterize the adaptative mechanisms of the immune system during the screening of servicemen in the conditions of unfavourable environment.

Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
