It is established that activation of delta1 opioid receptors with their selective agonist DPDPE(100 μg/kg) significantly increases IgM immune response not only in C57BL/6J mice with unchanged psychoemotional state, but also in mice displaying aggressive or depressive-like behavior in the social stress model (10 days of agonistic confrontations). SCH-23390 (1.0 mg/kg), selective antagonist of dopamine D1 receptors, and selective D2 receptor blocker haloperidol (1 mg/kg) prevented the immunostimulating effect of DPDPE in animals not subjected to social stress. At the same time, both SCH-23390 and haloperidol did not affect DPDPE-induced immunostimulation in mice engaged in aggressive or depressive-like behaviors.
