Abstract

Benzene or benzene-dissolved B1-aflatoxin in low doses promotes an increase of the Thy-1+ cell count in the bone marrow of mice and an enhancement of the thymusdependent immune response.In vitro aflatoxin and benzene are unable to induce the expression of Thy-1-antigen in bone marrow T-precursors.
