Stimulation index parameters of washed lymphocytes were studied in mini pigs under chronic alcohol intoxication and in a control group of animals. No reliable difference was observed between the two groups. Autologous serum from both control and experimental groups of animals significantly suppressed mitogen-induced lymphocyte blast transformation without concomitant cell death. No discrepancies were noticed in the absolute number of lymphocytes in 1 cubic millimeter of peripheral blood in animals from both groups.
