| Abstract | Although children are known to display varied antibody responses to vaccination, little is known about the causes of these variations. One possibility is that persistent organochlorine pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) elicit immunotoxic effects that influence the production of specific antibodies. In this report, NIEHS grantee Philippe Grandjean of the Harvard School of Public Health and his colleagues confirm an association between increased PCB exposure and decreased antibody production in vaccinated children |
