Impact of Developmental Lead Exposure on Splenic Factors

This study focuses on the impact of developmental Pb exposure on splenic gene expression. Pb exposure from gestational day 8 (gd8) to post-natal day 21 (pnd21) was used to obtain insight into how Pb induces anemia and negatively influences the immune response Keywords: exposure analysis This study uses Codelink Mouse whole genome microarrays. Mouse spleen from 3 control and 3 experimental (treated with 0.1mM Pb since gd8) BALB/c female mice on pnd21 were used to study gene expression.
