The impact of short-term confinement on human innate immunity.

ABSTRACT: During space missions cosmonauts are exposed to a myriad of distinct stressors such as radiation, overloads, weightlessness, radiation, isolation in artificial environmental conditions, which causes changes in immune system. During space flights it is very difficult to determine the particular factor associated with the observed immunological responses. This makes ground-based experiments examining the effect of each space flight associated factor along of particular value. Determining mechanisms causing alterations in cosmonauts' immunity can lead to potential targets for different countermeasures. In the current article we present the study of the early period of adaptation of human innate immunity of 6 healthy test-subjects, 4 males and 2 females aged 25 through 40, to isolation factors
