Investigations into the mechanism of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-induced immune suppression: effects on dendritic cell phenotype and function

Creator:

Vorderstrasse, Beth A.

Abstract:

T cell-dependent immune responses are highly sensitive to suppression by exposure to the environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), yet direct effects of TCDD on T cells have been difficult to demonstrate. Because the activation of naive T cells is initiated by dendritic cells (DC), the studies presented in this dissertation were...
