Abstract

1. Exposure of carp lymphoid cells to zinc causes formation of metal-binding proteins (metallothioneins). 2. Metallothionein induction is accompanied by a suppression of the production of other proteins. 3. Antibodies are among the proteins which are decreased by zinc exposure. 4. Similar results from in vitro experiments indicate that zinc might affect even fish living in water still regarded as unpolluted.
