Department of Toxicology, Ankara University, Turkey.

1. To estimate the quantitative relation between exposure to airborne n-hexane and various markers of immune function, 35 male workers were examined and compared with unexposed controls. 2. Urinary 2,5-hexanedione concentrations were significantly higher in the exposed group than in the unexposed. 3. A significant suppression was observed in the serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM and IgA) levels between two populations. Also, a significant correlation was found between urinary 2,5-hexanedione concentrations and serum Ig level of the exposed group. 4. No significant difference between white blood cell counts was found in the two groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
