[Effect of adaptation to altitude hypoxia on the nonspecific immunity indices, production of hemagglutinins and development of adjuvant arthritis in rats].

It was established in rat experiments that adaptation to altitude hypoxia leads to the enhancement of immune response to sheep red blood cells and to an increase in the serum lysozyme level. Adaptation to altitude hypoxia also suppresses adjuvant arthritis and prevents arthritis-induced inhibition of antibody production.
