Effects of cadmium on metallothionein levels in human peripheral blood leukocytes: a comparison with zinc.

Journal of toxicology and environmental health. Part A - 12 Nov 1999

Yurkow E J, DeCoste C J

Abstract excerpt

Metallothioneins (MT) are low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich proteins that are induced in response to a variety of chemical stresses and therefore can be used to assess human exposure to environmental agents. In the current study, flow cytometry was used to characterize the basal and cadmium-induced expression of MT in the three major leukocyte populations of human peripheral blood. In the analysis, monocytes...
