[Chromosome changes in the blood lymphocytes compared to the strength of the immunity in parotitis virus infection and vaccination].

Alterations of chromosomes in T-lymphocytes of peripheral blood reflected their participation in immune reactions. The associative index of acrocentric chromosomes in T-lymphocytes depended on their proliferative and migratory activity in the organism. The degree of cytogenetic and serological alterations in patients with parotitis was higher than in those having a contact and vaccinated children.
