Abstract
It is typical for POPs that they are transported long distances
from source to sink areas. Reindeer (Rangifer tarandustarandus L.)
is considered to be one of the most important indicator species for
environmental toxic contaminants because it uses natural pastures
and is exposing continuously to environmental contaminant
deposition [1]. The immune system is one of the most sensitive
targets for the toxic effects of TCDD and structurally similar POPs
[2]. The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) is important factor
in immunotoxic mechanism of POPs.
