We studied the effect of acute stress on mouse immune system and found that the stress modified the proteins existing in the lymphocytes of liver. Performing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), we got the result that the proteins existing in the lymphocytes were different between stressed liver and non-stressed liver, whereas we could not find any detectable differences in the lymphocyte proteins between stressed spleen and non-stressed spleen. In stressed liver lymphocytes, we found thirteen clear bands in the stained gel that were not prominent in non-stressed liver lymphocytes.
