Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Spleen weight sign. greater in exposed animals
Indication of immunotoxic effect: Reduction of natural
killer cells, T cells and B cells in the spleen, and
increase in macrophages and nucleated erythrocythes and dead
cells (after i.p.) in the spleen
comparison of i.p. and s.c. application: sign. difference in
macrophages and nucleated erythrocytes, i.p. more
macrophages, s.c. more nucleated erythrocytes
