Journal ArticleDOI
Risk assessment in immunotoxicology. I. Sensitivity and predictability of immune tests.
Michael I. Luster,Christopher J. Portier,D. Gayla Pait,Kimber L. White,Chris Gennings,Albert E. Munson,Gary J. Rosenthal +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that the performance of only two or three immune tests are sufficient to predict immunotoxic compounds in rodents (greater than 90% concordance) and the tests that showed the highest association with immunotoxicity were the splenic antibody plaque forming cell response and cell surface marker analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a testing battery to assess chemical-induced immunotoxicity: National toxicology program's guidelines for immunotoxicity evaluation in mice

Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Assessment in Immunotoxicology: II. Relationships between Immune and Host Resistance Tests
Michael I. Luster,Christopher J. Portier,D. Gayla Pait,Gary J. Rosenthal,Dori R. Germolec,Emanuela Corsini,Benny L. Blaylock,P L Pollock,Y Kouchi,William A. Craig,Kimber L. White,Albert E. Munson,C E Comment +12 more
TL;DR: A good correlation exists between changes in the immune tests and altered host resistance in that there were no instances where host resistance was altered without affecting an immune test(s), however, in some instances immune changes occurred without corresponding changes in host resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Work, Obesity, and Occupational Safety and Health
Paul A. Schulte,Gregory R. Wagner,Aleck Ostry,Laura A. Blanciforti,Robert G. Cutlip,Kristine Krajnak,Michael I. Luster,Albert E. Munson,James P. O'Callaghan,Christine G. Parks,Petia P. Simeonova,Diane B. Miller +11 more
TL;DR: 5 conceptual models of the interrelationship of work, obesity, and occupational safety and health are developed and the ethical, legal, and social issues related to fuller consideration of obesity's role in occupational health and safety are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of ELISA and Plaque-Forming Cell Assays for Measuring the Humoral Immune Response to SRBC in Rats and Mice Treated with Benzo[a]pyrene or Cyclophosphamide
TL;DR: The ELISA could potentially replace the plaque assay as the first step in testing for potential immunotoxic chemicals in experimental animals and be an easier, more cost effective endpoint in evaluating the SRBC antibody response in rodents.
