Popis: We studied the effect of α-and β-adrenoceptor blockers on humoral and cell immune response in (CBA×C57Bl/6)F1 mice under normal conditions and during stress. The suppressive effect of α-adrenoceptor blocker dihydroergotamine on humoral immune response against the background of both immunization and combined effects of immobilization and injection of a thymus-dependent antigen was more pronounced compared to that of β-adrenoceptor blocker propranolol. Dihydroergotamine suppressed proliferative activity of T cells, stimulated proliferation of B cells at late terms after immunization, but inhibited it against the background of stress and antigen treatment. Propranolol stimulated proliferative activity of T and B cells at early terms after both immunization alone and stress with antigen treatment, but decreased the proliferation stimulation index of lymphoid cells at late terms after treatment (days 7–10).
