The effects of a naturally occurring stressor on components of the immune response were studied. Blood was drawn twice from 75 first-year medical students with a baseline sample taken 1 mo. before their final examinations and a stress sample drawn on the 1st day of final examinations. Median splits on scores from the Holmes-Rahe Social Readjustment Rating Scale and the UCLA [University of California at Los Angeles] Loneliness Scale produced a 2 .times. 2 .times. 2 repeated measures ANOVA [analysis of variance] when combined with the trials variable. Natural killer (NK) cell activity declined significantly from the 1st to the 2nd sample. High scorers on stressful life events and loneliness had significantly lower levels of NK activity. Total plasma IgA increased significantly from the 1st to 2nd sample, while plasma IgG and IgM, C-reactive protein and salivary IgA did not change significantly.
