Abstract
The level of cytokines produced by ConA activated splenocytes was studied in male BALB/c and C57Bl/6 mice after single and repeated cold exposure (−20°C, 3 min). Single cold exposure significantly decreased IL-2, -3, -4, -5, -10, -12, IFN-γ production in BALB/c mice and decreased IL-2 content and increased TNF-α level in C57Bl/6 mice. Repeated cold exposure normalized the content of IL-2, -4, -10, -12, and IFN-γ in BALB/c mice, which reflects the development of adaptive immune reactions. In C57Bl/6 mice IL-2, -3, -5, -10, -12, and IFN-γ production remained significantly decreased, which attested to dysadaptive processes.
