The objective of the present studies was to determine if acute exposure to an immunotoxic dose of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) produces alterations in the expression of lymphocyte surface markers as measured by multiparameter flow cytometry. The immunotoxicity of a single oral dose...
