Comparison of IgM and IgG-humoral immune response of CBA mice immunized with SE (5 × 10(8) cells) to activation of μ- (DAGO, 100 μg/kg) and δ2- (DSLET, 100 μg/kg) opioid receptors was studied. Different effects of opioids on IgM and IgG antibody production and peripheral blood and spleen levels of CD4(+) and CD8(+) subpopulations were detected at the peak of immune response under these conditions.
