Abstract:

In vivo generation of cytotoxic T cell activity against alloantigen is suppressed by the aromatic hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor binding 3,3',4,4',5,5'- hexachlorobiphenyl isomer (HxCB). Previous studies in this laboratory suggest that HxCB may alter early event(s) in the activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Production of and response to interleukins 1...
