Popis: Immunotoxicity is a common occurrence in experimental animals following exposure to TCDD. In addition to thymic atrophy, immunotoxicity is characterized by suppression of antibody responses in adult mice and suppression of cell-mediated immunity following perinatal exposure. Studies in our laboratory have investigated the effects of perinatal TCDD exposure on thymocyte maturation and differentiation. In addition, we have examined TCDD-induced effects on B lymphocyte maturation and differentiation in vitro
