Abstract Thimerosal is a preservative used in multidose vials of vaccine formulations to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination. We recently reported that nanomolar concentrations of thimerosal induce cell cycle arrest of human T cells activated via the TCR and inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production, thus interfering with T-cell functions Read more: Thimerosal compromises human dendritic cell maturation, IL-12 production, chemokine release, and T-helper polarization.
