  • Title: [Specific antimicrobial immunity in patients with suppurative soft-tissue diseases undergoing conventional and modified ultraviolet irradiation of autologous blood].
    Author: Ostrovskiĭ VK, Makarov SV.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 1998; (4):27-9. PubMed ID: 9770814.
    Abstract:
    Study of titers of specific antibacterial antibodies in the plasma by passive hemagglutination test and of the number of antibody-producing cells (APC) by local hemolysis test in patients with purulent diseases of soft tissues showed that both values increased after UV exposure of autoblood. This increase was more expressed after differentiated exposure of erythrocytic and leukocytic mass than after common UV exposure, which is explained by more complete exposure of leukocytes participating in immunological reactions. Study of APC during a UV session showed an increase in the count of these cells 6-8 h after exposure.
