We studied personality-related responses in cellular immunity to social stress.
Mice of wild origin were phenotyped as high (HAN) and low (LAN) anxious/neophobic.
Socially stressed HAN showed stronger increases in corticosteroids than LAN.
Stressed HAN had a higher % of regulatory T, and less effector T cells than LAN.
Results suggest that personality alters immunomodulatory effects of social stress.
