[HTML][HTML] Mercury immune toxicity in harbour seals: links to in vitro toxicity

K Das, U Siebert, A Gillet, A Dupont, C Di-Poï… - Environmental …, 2008 - Springer
Background Mercury is known to bioaccumulate and to magnify in marine mammals, which
is a cause of great concern in terms of their general health. In particular, the immune system
is known to be susceptible to long-term mercury exposure. The aims of the present study
were (1) to determine the mercury level in the blood of free-ranging harbour seals from the
North Sea and (2) to examine the link between methylmercury in vitro exposure and immune
functions using seal and human mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (T …
