Reduced antibody responses to vaccinations in children exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls.
Developmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been implicated as a possible cause of deficient immune function in children. This study was designed to assess whether prenatal and postnatal exposure to PCBs impacts on antibody response to childhood immunizations.Two birth cohorts wer...
