Chemiluminescence (CL) of splenocytes of A/Sn mice (1.5-9-month old) was recorded after irradiation of the cells with lambda semiconductor laser at 820 nm (dose 1.1 x 10(3) J/m2, pulse repetition rate 292 Hz). Laser radiation was found to stimulate or suppress the spontaneous CL (SCL) of splenocytes, the amplitude and its sign depending on cellular composition of the spleen. Direct correlations between effect of laser radiation (per cent in changes in SCL) and per cent of plasmatic cells (r = 0.743, p < 0.001), neutrophils (r = 0.650, p < 0.001) and myelocytes and metamyelocytes (r = 0.507, p << 0.01) were established. The correlation with per cent of lymphocytes (r = -0.590, p < 0.001) was found to be a reverse one.
