EFFECT OF AIR POLLUTING CHEMICAL GASES UPON IMMUNOLOGIC PROCESSES IN ANIMALS

Abstract

Antibody production was accelerated when animals were preexposed to SO2 and aerosolized with antigen. Because of premature investigation at the present stage, the mechanism could not be clarified definitely, but from the available investigative results, it was most likely due to: (1) increased permeability of air way tract membrane, and (2) decreased activity of cilia which cause accumulation of antigen in longer period when SO2 was preexposed.
