[Effect of a staphylococcaL infection on the development of an immune response after physical loading]

The infection of rats with staphylococci enhances the suppressing effect of physical loading on the development of immune response induced by the injection of sheep red blood cells. Intensive physical loading is accompanied by the release of the substance activating the function of splenic suppressor cells into the blood. Staphylococcal infection increases the action of the serum substance of rats performing physical work on splenic suppressor cells, as well as on the action of the suppressor factor released by these cells on immunocompetent cells.
