2,3,7,8-Tetracholorodibenzo-p-dioxin is a highly toxic substance that can cause a variety of adverse effects on organisms. While it has been shown that TCDD acts mainly through the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), the mechanism of toxicity is not completely clear. To test the role of the AHR in mediating the effects of TCDD, we exposed two congenic strains of mice differing only at the Ahr locus (Ahr(b)/Ahr(b)...
