Organotin compounds have a number of industrial applications, and human exposures occur in various industrial settings. The present study reports effects of trimethyltin chloride (TMT) on chromosome length in asynchronous human peripheral lymphocyte cultures. The results demonstrate dose-related and exposure time-related reductions in average chromosome length. Induction of supercontraction indicates that TMT is a powerful inhibitor of spindle function. TMT would thus be expected to be able to induce aneuploidy due to non-disjunction. This study indicates the need for more-direct investigations on the spindle-inhibiting effects of TMT and other organotin compounds.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be a valuable endpoint to evaluate lymphocyte subpopulations in tissues following exposure to presumptive immunosuppressive agents. IHC is more sensitive than conventional histology in detecting subtle differences in lymphocyte numbers and distribution in tissue. In combination with flow cytometric analysis of peripheral lymphocyte subpopulations, IHC can determine if alterations detected in the peripheral blood are a result of trafficking or reflective of changes in tissue distribution. These techniques can be used to evaluate adult animals as well as to evaluate the effects of immunosuppressive agents on fetal tissues in reproductive toxicology studies. While IHC can enhance the detection of subtle changes in lymphocyte subpopulations in tissue, the evaluation of additional end-points of immune function must be done to further assess the biological or clinical significance ofthese changes.
