Title Antibody suppression by cadmium.
Bibliographic information Dec. 1975, Vol.30, No.12, p.598-601. Illus. 14 ref.
Abstract Mice were given 3 or 300ppm cadmium for 10 weeks. Both primary and secondary immune responses to inoculation of antigen (sheep red blood cells) were depressed. (Graphs show both responses to administration of antigen during and 1, 7, 14 and 42 days after exposure to cadmium). The most significant aspect of the results was depression of the IgG antibody response in mice inoculated with antigen 42 days after cadmium exposure.
