Enhancement of in situ immune complex formation in isolated perfused kidneys in Heymann's nephritis.

abstract：:Immunological cell functions were evaluated during 24, 48 and 96 h O2 exposure in C57Bl/6 mice. A normobaric O2 exposure resulted in depression of delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) to oxazolone and Staphylococcus aureus antigens. This effect was proportional to the duration of O2 exposure. The antibody response of s...
