Abstract excerpt
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) exposure results in an increased percentage of CD11b(+) (Mac-1(+)) cells in the spleens of mice challenged with P815 tumor cells, coincident with a failure of the mice to generate allospecific CD8(+) CTL activity. Since CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid suppressor cells (MSC) have been described as that which prevent cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) development in a variety of disease...
