Immobilization stress for 14 h induced lymphopenia, hypoplasia of the thymus and spleen, and decrease in functional activity of T lymphocytes and macrophages in C57Bl/6 mice. Active induction of antibodies against serotonin during stress decreased functional activity of T lymphocytes and partially recovered phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages.
