  • Title: Placental p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene and cord blood immune markers.
    Author: Brooks K, Hasan H, Samineni S, Gangur V, Karmaus W.
    Journal: Pediatr Allergy Immunol; 2007 Nov; 18(7):621-4. PubMed ID: 18001433.
    Abstract:
    Placental p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE) concentration and cord blood atopic markers were determined in 19 neonates. Increased placental p,p'-DDE was associated with a statistically significant increase in cord plasma interleukin (IL)-13. Furthermore, both cord plasma IL-4/interferon (IFN)-gamma and IL-13/IFN-gamma ratios were significantly positively associated with placental p,p'-DDE concentration.
