Ga. Belokrylov et al., IMMUNO-MODULATING AND PHAGOCYTOSIS-MODULATING PROPERTIES OF LOW-DOSESOF B-1-AFLATOXIN AND BENZENE, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(2), 1994, pp. 158-161
Benzene or benzene-dissolved B-1-aflatoxin in low doses promotes an in
crease of the Thy-1(+) cell count in the bone marrow of mice and an en
hancement of the thymus-dependent immune response. In vitro anatoxin a
nd benzene are unable to induce the expression of Thy-1-antigen in bon
e marrow T-precursors.
