ABSTRACT
To study the immune responsiveness of children in the measles vaccinal process, the cytochemical methods for the identification of immunocompetent cells have been used. The investigations have been made in children aged 1.5-4 years, immunized with live measles vaccine prepared from strain l-16. The results of these investigations indicate that the development of specific antiviral postvaccinal immunity is characterized by transitory changes in the populations of T-, B- and O-lymphocytes; such changes are accompanied by not only quantitative, but also qualitative changes of individual populations.
