}A confinement experiment in a normobaric diving chamber was undertaken to better understand the effect of confinement and isolation on human psychology and physiology. Pre- and postconfinement blood samples were obtained from four test subjects and control donors to analyze immune responses. No modification in the levels of CD2+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, and CD56+ cells was observed after confinement. Mitogen-induced T-lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin-2 receptor expression were not…

It is concluded that the changes in the distribution of immune cells caused by stress plays an important role in suppression of proliferative reactivity and in the immune changes observed in space.

It is to be presumed that confinement appears to induce distinct sympathoadrenergic activation and immunological changes but no clinically relevant immunosuppression.

The results indicate that space flight conditions alter cell-mediated immune responses, including lymphocyte proliferation and subset distribution, and cytokine production, which could lead to compromised defenses against infections and tumors.

It is highly appropriate, indeed imperative, that careful investigations of human immunity, infection, and cancer be made by space flight researchers.

Data do not support the hypothesis that de novo specific antibody responses of subjects become defective during the conditions of the Antarctic winter-over, and caution must be used in interpreting these data to anticipate normal antibody responses in long-term spaceflight.
