Over-activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by TCDD in mice leads among other phenotypes to a severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. TCDD causes a block in thymocyte maturation and a preferential emigration of immature CD4-CD8- DN thymocytes (recent thymic emigrants) into the p...

CD4+ T cells from 8-12 week female mice were isolated from wt and AhR-/- mice 24h after injection of 10µg/kg TCDD or solvent control. Keywords: TCDD, AHR, immunosuppression Each experiment was performed in biological duplicates from 4 pooled animals. Since TCDD treatment showed only marginal impac...

8-12 week, female C57BL/6 mice were injected with 10 µg/kg TCDD or solvent control. CD8+ T cells from spleen were FACS purified and submitted to transcription profiling Keywords: TCDD, AHR, Immunosupression peripheral T cells, CD8 T cells, Toxicogenomics For each group 4 female C57BL/6 mice were tre...

Effect of an immunosupressive dose of TCDD, a ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, on the gene expression profile of fetal DN thymocytes and thymic emigrants C57BL6 mice were mated and the pregnant dams sacrifice at day 15 of gestation. Fetal thymic lobes were prepared and cultured for 6 days o...

Effect of the over activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor on gene expression of spleen derived dendritic cells. 8-12 week old, female C57BL6 mice were injected 10 µg/kg TCDD i.p. or solvent control. After 24 h mice were sacrificed and splenic dendritic cells purified by MACS sorting.

Over activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) by TCDD results ampng other phenotypes in severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. The link between thymic atrophy, skewed thymocyte differntiation and immunosuppression is still not fully resolved. This study investigates the TCD...
