Fig. 3From: TCDD exposure alters fecal IgA concentrations in male and female micesIgA and IgA levels after 3 weeks in female mice. Mice were given vehicle or TCDD (n = 9 per treatment group) and then infected with L. major the following day as described in Methods. Feces and serum were collected 21 days after infection. The mean optical density (OD) values for IgA (+ SEM) are shown for A feces and B serum. * Indicate a mean that is significantly different from peanut oil controls (0 μg/Kg TCDD, p < 0.05). Abbreviations: immunoglobulin A, IgA; Leishmania major, L. major; optical density, OD; standard error of the mean, SEM; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxinBack to article page
