Antibody suppression by cadmium

Antibody suppression by cadmium

L D Koller et al. Arch Environ Health. 1975 Dec.

Abstract

Mice exposed to subclinical doses of cadmium chloride for ten weeks and inoculated with antigen six weeks after discontinuance of exposure had a remarkable decrease in antibody-forming cells, particularly IgG. These results indicate that immunosuppression produced by environmental contaminants may persist for several months after exposure to the contaminant.
