[Immunological variants and free radical characteristics of workers exposed to epoxy resins].

Workers on exposure to epoxy resins (ER) have been shown to reveal several variants of immunogrammes of blood, expression of Fas-ligands and oxygen-dependent metabolism of phagocytes. These are as follows: the immune deficiency variant (38.1%), the autoimmune one (33.

[A method for isolating a complex epoxide-containing antigen and its use for the diagnosis of allergic diseases].

Specific complex antigen, based on human serum albumin and epichlorhydrine was proved to be useful in the diagnosis of individual hypersensitivity to the epoxide pitches and epichlorhydrine. Lymphocytes' blast transformation with 3H-timidine was proved to be the most sensitive reaction in the use of specific complex antigen during the diagnosis. The stated immune reaction can be used for the diagnosis of allergy before the clinical manifestations.
