[Isolated and combined effects of low-level ionizing radiation and hydroquinone on the humoral immunity in the regional lymph nodes].

The whole-body exposure of mice to 0.1 Gy gamma-radiation resulted in stimulation of T-cell dependent humoral immune response in lymph nodes. At the same time enhancement of susceptibility of immunocompetent cells to damaging effect of hydroquinone was observed. Under irradiation with doses of 0.5 or 1 Gy which cause dose-dependent immunosuppression, hydroquinone induced stimulation of antigen production.
