In the present case, the oil contained 10% aromatics and 1% PAH if concentration is expressed in terms of chrysene units. Rainbow trout were exposed daily to food pellets spiked with crankcase oil and sampled monthly for 4 months. Exposure was to 0, 3.2, 6.4 and 9.6 ug oil/g fish/day and represents a water concentration of nearly 0, 10, 20, and 30 ug oil/L. Muscle tissue was analyzed for total and specific aromatics (PAHs, LABs, PCBs) and various elements. The liver was analyzed for enzymatic activity (EROD and AchE) and the gall bladder, for bile metabolites. A dose and time response was observed for the bioaccumulation of aromatics. In another experiment, crabs were exposed to crankcase oil during 6 months and sampled intermittently. Feeding took place once a week during the first 3 months and biweekly for the last 3 months. Exposure was equivalent to 4--8 ug oil/g crab/day or to 510 ug oil/L. Muscle and hepatopancreas were analyzed for aromatic compounds. Comparison is made between the two experiments and the fate of aromatics discussed in terms of temperature, respiration rates, lipid content of tissues and K{sub ow} of chemicalsmore » known to be present in lubricating oils.« less

Technical brief description of the possible treatments and preventions of these biothreats is presented with emphasis placed on the principles of immunological defenses, vaccination, and preparation of vaccines. In principle, various types of vaccines that are commercially used as “antibacterial or anticancer vaccines” can be produced using various types of antigenic carbohydrate haptens containing relevant epitopes. This review highlights the strategies used for the characterization of such synthetic neoglycoconjugate vaccines used as a means of protection against biothreats. A complete mass spectrometry-based strategy for validating the preparations of the neoglycoconjugate vaccine is presented.
