Immunotoxicity of TCDD: role of Fas expression and MHC phenotype on TCDD-mediated thymic artophy and decrease in peripheral T cell responsiveness
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is well known for its immunotoxic effects particularly on the thymus as well as on T and B lymphocyte functions. Previous studies have suggested that TCDD may induce apoptosis in thymocytes although its demonstration in vivo has met with limited success. TC...
