W R Beisel et al. Immunol Today. 1987.

Abstract

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducts a research program in the biological and medical aspects of space flight and funds research proposals submitted by interested scientists. Changes that could influence immune status and possibly impair host resistance to infections have been noted and are summarized in a report prepared by the Life Sciences Research Office of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology and a working group of eminent scientists.
