The effects of TCDF exposure on the immune system were investigated in Hartley guinea pigs. TCDF was administered by gavage at doses of 0.05, 0.17, 0.5 or 1.0 microgram/kg body weight once weekly for six weeks. Thymus/body weight ratios were suppressed in the higher dosage groups. Parameters of cell-mediated and humoral immune function were investigated. TCDF modestly suppressed cell-mediated immune function and had slight effects on humoral-mediated functions. TCDF immunosuppression appears similar to that induced following exposure to TCDD.
在哈特利豚鼠中研究了2,3,7,8-四氯二苯并呋喃(TCDF)暴露对免疫系统的影响。TCDF通过灌胃给药,剂量为0.05、0.17、0.5或1.0微克/千克体重,每周一次,共六周。较高剂量组的胸腺/体重比受到抑制。对细胞介导和体液免疫功能的参数进行了研究。TCDF适度抑制细胞介导的免疫功能,对体液介导的功能有轻微影响。TCDF诱导的免疫抑制似乎与2,3,7,8-四氯二苯并二噁英(TCDD)暴露后诱导的免疫抑制相似。
