Effect of Microgravity on Human T Lymphocyte Activation: Experiments in Spacelab and Sounding Rockets
Several physiological systems are altered by the environment of spaceflight.The results of an experiment carried out in Spacelab-1 have surprisingly shown that the mitogenic activation with Concanavalin A (Con A) of T lymphocytes is nearly completely inhibited (by more than 95%) in microgravity con...
