Conclusion
The effect of remote period gamma radiation remained suppressive on the
immune system, including non-specific phagocytic links, and the
functional-metabolic activity of neutrophils. Hence, the mechanisms of
development of stress response to radiation genesis might depend on the
adaptation and insufficiency of physiological measures for the
protection of the irradiated organism. At the early period of emotional
stress, all indexes of the immune system, such as cellular, humoral, and
non-specific phagocytic links of immunity were activated, indicating the
activation of the general adaptive syndrome of the organism. In the
remote period after the combined action in the early stage of the
adaptation syndrome, there was a decrease in all cells of the T-system
of immunity, in the functional ability of leukocytes, and in the
mononuclear phagocytic system of the organism. Ionizing radiation,
combined with emotional stress had a more pronounced effect on the
formation of immunodeficiency syndrome in a remote period. Moreover, the
dominant agent affecting the developing pathology under the combined
effects of the above mentioned 2 factors was shown to be ionizing
radiation.
