Abstract excerpt
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), acting through the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), elicits numerous toxicological effects, including immunosuppression. Previous work from our laboratory has suggested that TCDD exposure in mice is associated with altered lymphopoietic development, in particular altered B-cell phenotype in the bone marrow. It remains to be determined which specific hematopoietic...
