| Research Abstract |
The author had found that ingestion of trichloroethylene(TCE) as a groundwater pollutant from drinking water exacerbated allergy in rats and mice experiments. In this study, the mechanisms have been elucidated with mouse in vivo and in vitro experiments, as follows.(1) TCE ingestion from drinking water enhanced antigen-specific T cell proliferation, and the enhancement was associated with increase of IL-3 secretion.(2) Increase of TNF-a secretion from T cell directly enhanced inflammation.(3) TCE exposure enhanced T cell proliferation, and TCE acts as a potential T cell stimulator to accelerate the T cell receptor(TCR)-CD3-mediated signaling pathway.
