Environmental factors such as chemical contamination can have immunomodulatory effects on the immune response of fish and may be contributing to the decline in salmonid populations by augmenting disease susceptibility. Xenobiotics can interfere with the immune system at several levels of complexity, and different immune cells and processes have variable...
Resonance Electron Capture Mass Spectrometry (REC-MS) is a sensitive
experimental technique for the study of gas-phase compounds with positive electron
affinity. This technique was used to study a class of compounds known as
baloetbylenes containing chlorine and bromine substitutions. Haloetbylenes are an
important class of compounds because ethylene is the...
