    Abstract:
    The level and dynamics of lymphocyte blastogenesis in response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and to specific influenza virus antigen were studied in 3 groups of humans, vaccinated with live or inactivated whole virion influenza vaccines (H3N2 type) and placebo (control group). Both live and inactivated influenza vaccines did not change significantly the functional activity of T lymphocytes as determined by the mean values of stimulation index (SI). The analysis of individual values of PHA-dependent blastogenic response, however, revealed a decrease in SI as compared with its prevaccination level in 33.3 +/- 11.4% of the vaccinees given the live influenza vaccine.
