- 英文摘要: Autism,a neurodevelopmental disorder, may involveautoimmune pathogenesis. Since mercury is potentiallya risk factor for autoimmunity, we conducted a study ofmercury-induced antinuclear and antilaminin antibodiesin autistic and normal children who had been pre-admin-istered with thimerosal-containing vaccines. Laboratoryanalysis by different immunoassays showed that theseru level of these two autoimmune markers did notsignificantly differ between autistic and normal children.This finding suggests that the mercury as in thimerosal-containing vaccines is likely not related to autoimmunephenomenon in autism.
