[A study on plasma non-species specific antibody in employees working in a automobile engine testing workshop].
To investigate the existence of the non-species specific antibody in plasma of the employees working in an automobile engine testing workshop, and to use it as a scanning marker of various hazards, the heat-stress protein antigen method and western blot technique were used. This study showed that employees working in the automoblile engine testing workshop were affected by various hazards, such as noise, toxic chemicals (carbon monoxide, lead fume, benzene, and so on), and there existed non-species specific antibodies against protein 103,900 and 54,200 of rat liver in their plasma, which were postulated as the specific products produced by exposure to occupational hazards, such as noise, carbon monoxide, et al.
