Exposure to conspecific alarm chemosignals alters immune responses in BALB/c mice

Male BALB/cJ mice were exposed for 24 h to odors from donor mice that were either footshocked or undisturbed. Mice exposed to odors from footshocked donors had suppressed splenic IL-2 production following in vitro concanavalin A (Con A) stimulation compared to home cage or apparatus controls. Stress...
