The toxicological biomarkers of 2,3,7,8-TCDD in secreted proteins were evaluated using HepG2 cells.
Eight secreted proteins were confirmed by western blotting.
PSMB 5 and PRX 1 were validated in rat plasma.
GLO 1, HGD, PSMB 6 and PRX 1 were found in the plasma of incineration workers.
These proteins could be used as potential toxicological biomarkers of 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
