Subacute immunotoxic effects of the environmental contaminants 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA), hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane), and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on spleen and pronephros cellularity and morphology and functional activity of macrophages contained in these hemotopoietic organs in the cichlid fish tilapia (<i>Oreochromis niloticus</i>)
Alterations of immune parameters were investigated in fish exposed to non-overtly toxic levels of three different environmentally relevant chemicals, 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA), hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane), and 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo-p -dioxin (TCDD). Each chemical agent was adminis...
