38. 2006 年报告附件 D 介绍了针对日本原子弹爆炸幸存者、切尔诺贝利核电站工作人员和居民、Techa 河居民、Hanford 核基地附近居民和接受放疗的病人开展的关于电离辐射对人体免疫系统影响的研究。对这些数据的横向比较表明了一些共同的发现：细胞免疫受损，体液免疫增强，转而朝炎症方向发展。原子弹爆炸幸存者表现出电离辐射对稳定免疫系统的干扰，这在受到切尔诺贝利事故辐射照射的工作人员和居民中并不明显。
38. Annex D to the 2006 report describes studies of the effects of ionizing radiation on the human immune system for Japanese atomic bombing survivors, Chernobyl workers and residents, Techa river residents, the population near the Hanford nuclear site and patients undergoing radiotherapy. A cross-comparison of these data indicates some common findings: impairment of cellular immunity, increased humoral immunity and a shift towards an inflammatory profile. Atomic bombing survivors show perturbations to stable immune systems; this was not evident in workers and residents exposed to radiation resulting from the Chernobyl accident.
