“…The thymus normally begins to atrophy at about the time of sexual maturity in mice and humans (27). T-cell numbers and other leukocytes in the periphery remain unaffected in TCDD-exposed versus nonexposed persons (28), thus an additional atrophic effect on the thymus by TCDD might not be detectable in people exposed to TCDD as adults over about 30 years of age.…”

“…Nagayama et al (2001) reported no significant changes on serum levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM and lymphocyte subsets in exposed subjects of the Yusho industrial accident. Neubert et al (1993) reported no significant change in immunological cell subsets and multiple monoclonal antibody markers among workers exposed to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD)/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in a German study on workers involved in the decontamination of a chemical plant, who had moderately increased dioxin body burdens. However, in a follow-up study, they reported a significant decrease in plasma concentrations of IgG1 in exposed workers (Neubert et al 2000).…”
