Abstract excerpt

This longitudinal study was originally designed to detect changes in the in vitro immune response of healthy subjects as a result of a psychological intervention. In this study a significant proportion, about 70%, of the immunological variability in the test results was accounted for by the differences in immunological response levels of the subjects. Apart from this between-subject-effect, a significant...
