Assessment of environmental contaminant-induced lymphocyte dysfunction.
Although it has been established that environmental contaminants can alter immune function, the mechanisms of action have yet to be determined. This paper reviews the effects of hydrocarbon environmental contaminants on lymphocyte function and presents an approach which may serve to delineate the mechanisms of action. The approach is based on the use of the developmental phases of an immune res...
متن کاملEnvironmental chemical-induced macrophage dysfunction.
Immunomodulation by environmental chemical contaminants and the role immune parameters play in toxicity and risk assessment studies is of increasing concern. Although considerable evidence has indicated that various xenobiotics may be immunosuppressive, little attention has been directed toward ascertaining a specific cellular locus which could be responsible for the impaired immune responsiven...
متن کاملPerchlorate as an environmental contaminant.
Perchlorate anion (ClO4-) has been found in drinking water supplies throughout the southwestern United States. It is primarily associated with releases of ammonium perchlorate by defense contractors, military operations, and aerospace programs. Ammonium perchlorate is used as a solid oxidant in missile and rocket propulsion systems. Traces of perchlorate are found in Chile saltpeter, but the us...
متن کاملLymphocyte-induced corneal neovascularization: a morphologic assessment.
Lymphocytes obtained from mesenteric lymph nodes of rabbits were stimulated in vitro by concanavalin A and injected into the corneas of allogeneic hosts. Controls were nonstimulated, killed, or autogeneic lymphocytes injected into the contralateral corneas. The stimulated cells were significantly better inducers of neovascular growth. Histologic observations of the vascularized corneas showing ...
متن کاملOxytetracycline as environmental contaminant in arable lands.
Oxytetracycline (OXY) is a broad-range antimicrobial routinely used in pig production, at doses in the range of few g/kg of medicated feed, during the weaning period. It could persist at ppm level in pig liquid manure that routinely is used for organic fertilisation. In the present work we describe a methodology to study OXY environmental fate in arable land where crops are cultivated for anima...
